Blue lovers might like to give Green a try this season. A Neon Pink aficionado may consider Lilac for a change. Metallic lovers will find there is no reason to choose between Gold and Silver when they can wear both at once. Even those who prefer to take a pass on color and keep things simply Black and White will find themselves color-fully right on trend.
You knew I was talking about nail color right? After all, what other medium allows us hue fickle folks so much colorful freedom?
Nail colors and inspirations continue to be one of my favorite trends to follow. Sometimes these colors and styles are influenced by a current look happening in home and fashion (ombre nails anyone), sometimes the hues and finishes happen at the same time ( red and black both in matte- perfect for wardrobes, walls and nails eh!) and sometimes a new bottle of polish sets off a color craze simply by just showing up on the runways and then on the shelves (I’m talking to you Jade- after all, where have you been all our lives?).
There are just so many fun things happening for nails come Fall -that I thought today I would pull together a few of my personal faves thus far:
Is this the ‘it’ color of Fall 09? Chanel’s Jade is sure to cause a frenzy when it’s released next month. A moon manicure ( first popular in the 1920’s) is fresh again in black and white, Essie’s new Matte About You Top Coat gives your favorite shiny color an edgy new look. Rescue Beauty Lounge gives beauty bloggers a colorful voice ( i.e. their dream shades come to life), while OPI’s online color viewer lets you try on your favorite new hue virtually before spending a dime ( seen here in Done Out In Deco…a pale Lilac that I hear will continue to be hot as the weather cools). Zoya’s latest colors come velvety and matte ready-made, while for the DIYers- InStyle.com offers up some great ideas ( from purple ombre to mixed metals) to create a colorful manicure all your own. Lippmann Collection’s Marquee Moon is a futuristic silver sequin ideal for those not wanting to shell out for Beyonce’s Minx treatment and Sally Hansen’s newest HD collection ( seen here in the mood ring shade Pixel Pretty) promises your tips colorful, Hi-Definition results.
Not usually that adventurous with my manicure, but I love the moon manicure. However, I will definitely try some of those gorgeous colors on my toes – the jade and the purple look fun.
Just noticed that Drew Barrymore (from Angry Patterns post) is wearing the Chanel jade nail polish.
