Negative space manicures are far from new — this we know — but the latest influx to hit Los Angeles' most on-trend fingers are far from expected. In fact, it's almost as if every manicure features a peek-a-boo element as of late. Cool-girl nail hotspots like Olive & June, Mars The Salon, and DTLA's newest, Base Coat, are turning out fresh takes on the style that you already love...and have probably pinned at some point, too.
The best part? The grow out is amazing. After all, isn't it tremendously annoying when your selfie-worthy, splurge-a-licious gel mani grows out without a chip, leaving an obvious line at your cuticle? Consider these innovative spins on the designs your pass to extend your wear time for a few more days — or even weeks. And with artwork like this, why would you rush to remove it?
There are plenty of looks to choose from, too. If your heart skews towards streamlined looks you'll dig a monochromatic half-dip in your go-to hue. Or, to add some shine, try a glitter-spiked tip. Want something intricate? A half moon

Cutest Colored French Tips Nail Art Ideas To Copy
We thought we had seen every twist on the classic french manicure possible — but oh, were we wrong. There's a new take on the throwback trend (and one we should have seen coming with the invisible french, the glazed-doughnut french, and many more cool iterations), only this one literally flips the traditional design upside down. Meet the reverse french manicure.
