Nail polish is something we grew up with -- we've pretty much been painting our digits pink since we could walk. But, with the advancements in nail polish technology (read: polish that can detect date rape drugs), it's no longer just about making your nails don the trendiest hue -- it's about having intricate little works of art sitting on your fingertips.
However, fancy nail art isn't for everyone -- we don't all have the steady hands and/or patience to hash out a four-shade flower motif. But, don't let that stop you!
