Nail Trends, Inspired by the Spring 2012 Runways


This Spring don’t be scared to go all out with your nails. Some emerging trends involve a great deal of colours, patterns and bedazzling. What girl wouldn’t want to add some shine to her nails! Here’s a brief breakdown of these fabulous trends.


NEW NEUTRALS
Minimalist look
Creamy shades of grey, white, pale pink, soft beige
Keep in mind that a rounded shape helps to elongate your nails
This trend was spotted on the runway at Philip Lim (a transparent pink) and Christopher Kane.

           
LADY-LIKE COLOURS
Reds, Rich Burgundy, Demure Pastels, Smart Chartreuse 

This trend was spotted at Christian Dior, in which he used a Cherry Red. It was also spotted at Donna Karan, as she used an fabulous deep burgundy that complimented her line well. Chanel used a beautiful rose pink that worked very nicely with the pale skin tones of the models. This trend was clearly evident at the "big" runway shows for the season, which is probably why they are the most favoured. One point I would like to note, and an important one at that, don’t be scared to match your nail colour with your lip colour. It classy and totally on trend!


PATTERNED DESIGNS
Bedazzled
Sequin Tips
Chrome
Pearly Finishes
Moody Ombre Effect
Jock Stripes
Tribal V-Shape 
Checkered

Don’t be hesitant to go all out with your patterns. You can simply play them up with a mixture of colour or even mix and match the designs. Experiment and have fun with it!
