Nailed it!
With the recent revelation that nail polish has been out selling lippy, and Ciate's latest appointment of style icon Olivia Palermo as guest creative director. It's fair to say nail polish is serious business. It seems like naked nails are a thing of the past and nail art is the new accessory to be donning on the red carpet. I can't be the only one thinking nail polish deserves it's own fashion week?
The world of nail art can be daunting for beginners. We've chosen three easy and striking manicure ideas which will be sure to get people asking "what are you wearing?". Cue your red carpet moment.
Classic Mani
The classic one shade manicure will always be a favourite. It's easy to do, looks super stylish and a favourite among celebs. Victoria Beckham and Olivia Palermo are fans of the classic manicure, opting for reds, blacks and nude shades. The key with the classic manicure is a shiny topcoat which draws the eye to your perfectly polished finger nails and also allows you to show off your rings in style.
Glitter Tips
Who doesn't love a little sparkle now and again? By applying a little glitter just on the tips on the nails not only does it look more interesting but it's also simple to do. Not to mention easier to take off when you want to try something else.
Half Moon
The half moon is a great way to experiment with different colour combinations and perfect if you're just starting out with nail art. Paint your nails in one colour, wait for it to dry. Next place a reinforcement sticker (meant for patching up the holes in paper in a ringbinder) over your cuticles, with the outside arc of the sticker mimicking the 'moons' of your nails. Then paint the top half of your nails in another colour, once dry add a shiny top coat and you're done.
How will you be wearing your nails this week?
