Here, this person has gone with a fruity red that looks fun and fresh. We like the one nail with the swoopy heart and gem. It’s a sweet little detail that’s understated and sophisticated.

Tiny Streaks

These nails look like they’ve got white chocolate drizzled over them! Turn to a box of chocolates for inspiration, and you could walk away with something equally as tasty.
