Specifically, the set of #nailart hashtags I frequently refer to for fresh mani-pedi ideas or when I’m bored and simply want to look at mesmerizing art without leaving the comfort of my couch.

So whether you’re someone who likes DIY-ing their manicure or has a standing appointment with their go-to technician, they’re certainly easier to pull off. Though geometric nail art is as versatile as the others—go minimal with simple lines or all out with intricate shapes—it certainly has an artsier appeal that just looks like more work and consequently, perhaps a bit more impressive.
