Negative space and black and white are clearly a great combo (trio?).

Negative Stripe

Similarly, a simple swipe of black/white nail polish is also super effective.

90s Marble

Take your marbled mani to the next level with a swipe of metallic.

Inverted French

This is a super hip take on the classic French manicure with a totally unexpected color.

Dark French

Likewise, a French mani with black instead of classic white is also super cool.

Dark Shadows

Like a straight-up black mani, but way, way better.

Simple Is Best

This is probably the easiest nail art look in this slideshow, but it's also super cool.

Neutral Glam

Painting a barely-there color on your nails goes up a level when you add some sporadic sparkle.

A spooky, fall-appropriate ombre kind of can't be beat.

Literally Leaves

Drawn-on leaves make for a pretty potent fall look.

Moon Phase

If a starry night is slightly too much, go educational — and slightly more minimal — with a mani designed to mimic the phases of the moon.

Matte Talons

Faux nails in exaggerated shapes are sure to turn heads. These don't need much more ornamentation — matte black is a great choice.

Wink-Worthy

This is a cute take on simple, line-based nail art.

A two-color French mani is cool and so is a French mani with matte elements. How about both?

Heart This Look

It's hard not to fall for such a cute (but still fall-ready) nail look.

Luxe Line

Another line drawing option for those that need just a little hint of bling.

Stay-Put Sparkle

Keeping glitter confined to the bottom of the nail is a cool, unexpected look.

Pretty, Pretty

Choosing a clear polish, one close to your skin tone, and a favorite metallic make for a super cool, special-event nail look.

Spooked by Ombre

Is it possible for ombre to seem kind of sinister? Based off this look, yes — and we can't wait to emulate it.
