One key beauty trend we noticed on the recent Spring/Summer runways was statement nails. It seems 2017 is not the year to go minimalist or nude when it comes to your mani.
The first look we fell in love with was the striped tips models at the Vera Wang show sported. Celeb manicurist Jin Soon painted a single black stripe on each nail, then finished off with a matte top coat. The result? Edgy nails that are actually wearable!
Next, there was the metallic nail which, unlike last year’s foil finish, was a bit softer and feminine. The way to get this look right is to paint nails with a white coat, then top nails with a silver lacquer. The white coat acts as a base that allows the silver polish to look more opaque.
One mani look that always makes the cut during the summer months is anything bright. This year, the hue that everyone seems to be gravitating towards is tangerine. Orange is a fun way to add a pop of color to one’s nails—and it looks great against an all-white ensemble.
Another look that was somewhat a break from the usual was the geometric art nail. This look can be tricky to do on your own so it might be a good idea to save a screen cap on your phone, and show a nail technician the look you’d like to go for. Remember to choose two complementary hues so that you get a nice play of colors.
Lastly, there was the immaculately white nail. This is a trend that simply won’t go away because of its simplicity and high-fashion appeal.
