Nail Art From You - Our Readers!

This manicure by @nailedtothet pretty much blew us away. Sparkles, gradients, accent nails and stamps, and somehow the combination looks awesome! You can see more nails by Taylor on her blog.

Instagrammer @cutie_pa_tutie showed off her holiday spirit with these Fourth of July nails & toes. We love how they echo the flag!

We adore the reverse-leopard print on @libedon's accent nail! Check out how she pulled this look off on her blog. She used these colors (and a toothpick!) to make this mani happen:

Julep Daphne
Julep Kate
Essie Midnight Cami

Love this houndstooth pattern from @Starlett_Approved for work this fall - the color combos you could try!

We are seirously impressed with these monarch butterfly nails from @brianayacc. A great example of how a simple pattern can be so clever.

Nothing says summer like some sparkly watermelons at your fingertips. @Henne3 made us want to go to a picnic.

Tropical flowers from @Starlett_Approved make us think we need an island vacation, immediately. So bright and fun!

Our friend @lacqueredlover showed of her "Monochrome Monday" manicure in black, gray & white gradients! If you want to learn how to pull this off, check out her blog.

Chic gradient with some sparkle? Yes, please. Instagrammer @libedon showed off this fun look. See more like in oh her blog. Here's what she used:

Essie Chinchilly
China Glaze For Audrey
Essie Shine Of The Times
Tools used: make-up triangle sponge

We love how @oncebittenblog captured a gradient tutorial in her Instagram! Even pros go outside the lines, but her cleaned-up look is completely polished. See more, plus tutorials, on her blog.
