Nail art is huge beauty trend for summer, so we asked the lady who paints Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry and Rihannas famous talons Kimmie Kyees to tell us whats hot and whats totally over in the nail world.

HOT: Zoyas Fleck Effect topcoat:Its so rad, Kyees tells PEOPLE. I did it on Jennifer Lopez for the American Idol finale. We put the pinkish one called Chloe (above, left) on top of the original polish to match her dress. It gave it this holographic effect the pictures dont do it justice. Kyees recommends layering the glaze on top of any color to add a fun finishing touch.

NOT: Shatter polishes:The L.A.-based nail artist jokes that shed be happy to never see this trend again, mostly because she used it on Rihanna for the first time forever ago. I did it when she opened the VMAs years ago so long ago in hot pink and black, she explains. It was before all of the brands started selling it, so I just got this crappy Chinese stuff you bought downtown. At the time it looked amazing, but its nothing new anymore. Noted.

Tell us: Do you love over-the-top nail art designs or do you stick with the classic shades?
