Break out the bright polish and bring on the glitter, because the hottest nails right now are anything but neutral. While for some a fresh manicure is about looking neat and polished, for others it's more about having fun.
Nails have become mini-canvases for popular fashion trends, from neon and ombre to color blocking and animal prints. With artistic skills and a steady hand at their disposal (or a really artistic manicurist), many even opt for intricate designs inspired by their favorite movies, holidays and designer brands.
We asked readers to send us their most creative designs, all of which prove that since matching is no longer part of the criteria, 10 fingers equal endless possibilities.
