14. Delicate Daisy Chain
The prints of white daisy but with gold glitter sprinkled on a light pink background (with occasional solid nails attached to make it stable), will give a romantic atmosphere of a garden party.
I believe that this is an ideal design for outside or garden theme proms.
15. Polka Dot French Twist
Navy blue dots on a nude pink base of white polka dot French tips present a humorous variation of a traditional French manicure.
The retro-inspired design is fun, yet still classy- it’s great when you need something fun, but not too bold in your opinion.
16. Minimalist Leaf Art

French tips with gold and pearl nail decorations with white V tips on some nails and a nude pink nail base.
This is a luxurious design that gives it a dimension and texture, which is ideal in any formal setting.

This good-natured detail gives the design a personality without the timeless design that is too strong.
