We Can't Stop Staring at These 20 Photogenic Red Nail Designs

There are only a few things that we can be sure of in this life, and one of them is that red lacquered nails are utterly timeless (and they always will be). Maybe that's because they seamlessly fit every kind of outfit and occasion. Really, though. Try to think of something that wouldn't be made better with a fresh red manicure. We bet you can't. After all, we count on our favorite red nail polishes to elevate our effortless athleisure sets just as much as we count on them to add a sultry sort of elegance to our favorite cocktail dresses. We know they look just as appropriate when worn to a long, drawn-out dinner as they do when worn to an endless barrage of meetings at the office. Red nails are, without a doubt, considered classic for a reason. 

Just because we have a deep and unadulterated love for red nail polish doesn't mean we always stick with a standard red manicure, though. We like to spice it up every now and then with a fresh and innovative design. For that, we turn to Instagram. (Where else?) Keep scrolling to see 20 photogenic red nail designs we've saved from some of our most favorite nail accounts.

The ribbon of white nail polish really makes the red pop, no?
We love a combination of red and pink—always have, always will. 
Who would have guessed a deck of cards could turn into such a photogenic manicure?
The bright-red nail polish is great, but the drops of gold are what really make this manicure.
You don't need long nails to sport a design. Just look to these polka dots for inspiration. 
Step one: Grab a bottle of cherry-red nail polish. Step two: Paint this negative-space design. 
If Dorothy's ruby-red slippers were turned into a manicure, this would be it. 
This combination of red and black is strong and statement-making, and we love it.
You can never go wrong with a classic red French manicure.
Or kick it up a notch and alternate between French tips and fully painted nails.
A classic French manicure with bright-red cherries gives us '50s vibes in the best way.
Sure, it's not technically a design, but we couldn't skip this fresh see-through set. 
This '60s-inspired manicure is practically begging to be worn with bold eyeliner and big lashes. 
This is proof that manicures don't have to match. 
A swoop of scarlet (and a glossy topcoat) is all you need to re-create this chic design. 
Red and beige make a sophisticated pairing.
Squiggle designs afford nail-art newbies room for error. 
This is your sign to paint red asymmetric shapes over a base of beige.
This "shadow French" design deserves a place on your Instagram feed. 
It's not the most obvious color pairing, but there's not denying that it works. 
This opaque, poppy red is one of our all-time favorites. 
Olive and June is one of our favorite places to shop for nail color. 
Gucci Beauty's new nail polishes deliver a high-shine finish. 
Essie's Forever Yummy is a classic shade of candy-apple red. 
This universally flattering shade is somewhere between burgundy and cherry. 

Next, it's official—this is the coolest nail trend of the year

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
