6 Cool Nail Trends That Will Make You Feel Brand New I must admit that when it comes to caring for my nails, I’m not an A+ student. Once every blue moon I’ll get a manicure, feel like the jazziest version of myself and vow to indulge in this small but semi-affordable luxury on the regular.

In the spirit of self-betterment, I’ve decided to give my nails the attention they deserve. Regularly. I’m going in-house to make this cute habit even more affordable (can you tell we love cost-effective outfit updates here at COH?). As per usual, Instagram proved to be a treasure trove of #inspo in the nail department. Below, 6 nail looks that you bet I’ll be trying out this month (and which you should, too!).
