Judging from the more demure manicures that came down the Spring 2014 New York Fashion Week runways, nail art seems to be getting a bit of a make-under next season. The consensus at MDC HQ, however, is that we’re still all about experimenting with creative looks and bold designs on our digits. Here are 6 great reasons why we’re not putting down our dotting tools quite yet.

Because our favorite manicure is getting its own reality TV show. –LifestyleMirror Because nail art is gaining some serious industry cred (even a pop-up salon at MoMA PS1) with the launch of this new gallery. –Beautylish Because it’s football season and now we can show off our home team pride with a “fanicure.” –LA Times Because we can’t stop staring at these girly rose nails. –xoVain Because even the more understated nail art trends for next spring are just as hypnotizing. –BeautyHigh Because a little bit of nail art can actually be an instant fix for a chipped manicure. –DailyMakeover

Do you still love nail art?
