White lace can sometimes skew a little bit prissy, but these "lucite lace" nails, with their clear tips and hand-detailed lattice work, from Joy Cioci spring 2012 are anything but. Created by CND's Candice Manacchio, the cool, lucite-like tips—and the look's red power lip—balance out any overly sweet, lacey vibes, making for an edgy femininity. Definitely a badass combo of strong and soft!
