I've always firmly believed that the rules of fashion are meant to be broken, especially when that means tossing aside dull and basic nail designs for wicked and wacky lacquers like these incredible must-see nail polishes.
From pop culture-powered polish, like the Glee lacquer from Sephora by OPI, to the extremely artsy and adorable Magnetic Attraction polish by Nails Inc, there's no end to the number of fashion-forward finger art possibilities. Although I absolutely love the new color-changing Blaze Glitz on Madison polish, my favorite new nail innovation of the year is still the black matte polish, recently seen on celebs like Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
At-home manicures are a great way to save some stress on your pocketbook and to let your personality shine through with your own creations! Don't be afraid to experiment with these must-see nail polishes -- let your imagination run wild!
