Our Favorites From #ShowUsYourTips

We've been building our #showusyourtips gallery of nail art for a few weeks, and it feels like we've seen just about everything. There were stripes, dots, bows, mustaches—you name it, it's in there. But, being the perfectionists we are, we decided to ask Maura Lynch, our senior beauty editor, for her favorites to date. She picked some winners for sure. Think your nails have what it takes? Submit them to the gallery via Instagram or Twitter. All you have to do is tag them with #showusyourtips and you're set.

In the mean time, visit the gallery to find your own inspiration. Nail art forever!

I love this slightly subversive version of a french manicure—the gray-tinged turquoise and different-sized flecks of glitter look so cool together.

My motto is: when in doubt, put a bird on it. Or just put a bird on it in general. These owls totally know how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.

If there were fireworks that looked like exotic bird feathers...they would be this.

This cloud-edged mani makes me so happy—and for some reason, it feels vaguely Nordic to me.

Glitter + stripes = genius. Plus, it looks like a costume I wore at a dance recital when I was five. And being five was awesome.

Bonus points for total, impractical, extravagance!

On a scale of 1 to 10, these mustachioed nails are a 20.

I want pants printed with this design. And I think Derek Lam makes them.

Wouldn’t this make amazing wallpaper for a dollhouse?
