A subtle shimmer can elevate a simple manicure to something truly magical. Here, the soft lavender base is given a touch of enchantment with a glittering crescent at the nail bed.

In the radiant world of simple summer nails, sparkling fuchsia stands tall and proud. The vivacity of this color is enough to add a pop to any look, providing a statement that is both cute and confident.
