Summer is here ladies and the hottest accessory this season is your nails!  Some of these flashy nail trends were spotted on the Spring 2012 runways. Don’t hold back when it comes to this trend; make a statement with your manicure. Forget about matching your nails to your toes with the same boring hue you always use. Instead, aim for bolder, brighter, more vibrant colors.  These nail trends are important, and the polishes and designs are the newest, hottest accessory in fashion.

Here are some of this seasons hottest nail trends to try:

Long and Ladylike:

 Keep your nails at an elegant length, and file them to be more rounded, a style known as “Talon” or “Stiletto” shaped. This look has been seen on celebs such as Beyonce, Lady GaGa, and Rihanna. This flattering shape will leave you feeling prim and proper.

Nude and Natural:

This is a classic everyday look that can help play up your skin and natural hues. It’s subtle but sexy. These warm, foundation-inspired hues give the illusion of longer fingers-a modern look. Try any of OPI’s Nudes/Neutrals shades.

Ombré:

First on hair, now on nails; this fun spin on a manicure has made a huge splash into the fashion industry this season. Can’t decide on just one manicure color? Then this is the look for you!  As crazy as it sounds you can get this awesome look at home- and it’s super easy!

Now that the sun is shining, you should too– so dare to be different and dramatic with your manicure. Choose a style that fits your personality and no matter where you go you will be noticed in no time!

Happy Painting!
