Bright Pink And Royal Blue
"I've started getting my nails done every few weeks because I can't seem to get them to look nice myself and there is a place down the street that does it for only $5. I have been wanting to incorporate bright pink and royal blue into my wardrobe for a few weeks and what better place to start than my nails" -Michelle Persad, Stylelist Fashion Assistant
Summer Sparkles
"This summer I've been adding shimmer to just about every nail look I try. I was going to keep this one low-key and just go with Vince Camuto's Blush Hour, but at the last minute decided to add my favorite Sephora + Pantone sparkly shade on top." -Shana Honig, Stylelist Intern
Art Deco Inspired
"I had to counter the rainy weather with some Sunny nails so I went with an Art Deco inspired manicure using Five Colors by Barielle. These colors are from the Summer Fun Set. From Thumb to pinkie bases they are: Berry Go Round, Ocean Breeze, Peach Popsicle, Mint Ice Cream Cone and Pink Flip Flop. For the cloud details the same colors were used in alternating order." -Cristina of Let Them Have Polish
Essie Haute As Hello
"I view August and nail color as the grand finale of a fireworks display...go for the pop or go home" -Anya Strzemien, HuffPost Style and Stylelist editor
Black Sakura Creme by Rococo Nail Apparel
"This week I decided to stop forcing myself into bright, cheery summer colors and go back to my signature dark nails. This is Black Sakura Creme by Rococo Nail Apparel, a reddish almost-black hue that matches everything. Ellie Krupnick, HuffPost Style Associate Editor
OPI Germany Collection
"This manicure is easy to do but very eye catching! It simply involves using the brush that comes with the polish to paint on random, jagged strokes, creating a fractured effect. For this look, I've used five of the new OPI Germany Collection shades." -Sarah of Chalkboard Nails
Mellow Yellow
"I chose this shade of yellow (which I've been calling mellow yellow, although that's not the actual name) because, well, summer is coming to an end and I want to cherish it. It ain't over till it's over and every time I look down at my brightly colored nails I am reminded that there's still time!" Nicole Guzzardi, Stylelist Home Intern
Out Of This World Galactic
"I thought that I had decided to go plain dark blue for this week but I couldn't help it. I had to go galactic! Base: Cinde Midnight Sapphire, Galaxies: Cinde Silver Chrome, Cinde Plumville, Nails Inc Special Effects Connaught Square & Prevail Lady Luck, Clear Top Coat." Erica Cheung, HuffPost Style Intern
