Sophisticated Nail Art for when You Need to Look Amazing ...

There are lots of nail art designs out there, but they aren't all what you would call sophisticated. While they are all super fun to wear, there are times when you need something a bit more upscale. Say for your best friend's wedding or a formal function for work. You don't have to go with bare nails, but you should choose something like what you'll see on this list. That way you can still rock your style, but will fit in at the same time.
