Matte

To achieve this look, all you have to do is apply three coats of OPI "You Don't Know Jacques Matte," pictured here, or any other polish from the OPI matte collection. For this manicure, using a top coat would ruin the matte look and make your nails look shiny. You can, however, use a matte top coat, which can also be found at OPI.

Ombré mani

Choose five polishes that are similar in color but vary in saturation — similar to how a paint swatch looks. Listed from thumb to pinky, the polishes are OPI "Step Right Up," Essie "Fiji," Essie "Raise Awareness," China Glaze "Dance Baby," and OPI "Shorts Story."

Confetti nails

Start with an opaque, pigmented pastel (pictured here is Essie "Navigate Her"). Add one layer of a chunky multi-colored glitter (pictured here is Milani "Gems"). Top with one of two coats of a sheer milky polish (OPI "So Many Clowns...So Little Time"). This manicure will take a bit longer to dry because of all the layers.
