We all know the french manicure. The classic manicure with a pink nailbed and white tips. One of my favorite manicures that fits ever style and every look. Nowadays there is a new trend around the french manicure: French tips with a twist. Tips in different colors, tips with glitter, wide tips, stripes, dots or even little pieces of nail art on your tips.

5907_hero.jpg

I love nail art! But to make the perfect nail art onto the nails you need a lot of time, a steady hand and patience. Since a while you don't have to go to a salon anymore or spend hours to make the perfect creation on your nails. I'm talking about this new trend for this fall and winter; nail appliqués, or easy to say; nail applications!

Trend 2011: Pop Art Graphics + Inspired Photos

Yes, a new nail trend. There are so many nail trends right now, there is a trend for each person. This spring and summer it's all about; Pop Art Graphics.

I just found out I'm really bad at doing pop art on my own nails. So instead of doing my own nails I'd rather look on the internet for some pictures that inspire me to practise some nail art. I wanted to share some photos of pop art nails that I really like and which inspire me.

Trend 2011: Lace Nails!



One of the nail trends for spring 2011 are laced nails. You might have heard of lace nails before. In the end of 2009/beginning of 2010 there were celebrities like Jennifer Lopez and Blake Lively who wore nails with lace. People were talking about the lace nail trend but it didn't came to the big audience for take the big step and wear the look.



There are a lot of ways to apply lace onto your nails. On YouTube you can find a lot tutorials on how to glue them on your nails using actual glue. I'm not really thrilled using glue on my nails so instead I use a topcoat as glue.

Trend Winter 2010/2011: Moon Manicure



A moon manicure is something what women wore back in the 1930s and 1940s. It was a big hit. Back then they didn't color their nails like we do now, they always had a moon manicure. And now the moon manicure is back! We've already seen this manicure on the runway last September and we're going to see this look much more in 2011.


Picture on the right is an ad from the 1940s about a new nailpolish. The manicure on the nails is a moon manicure.

Trend: Fading Ombré Nails

A few weeks ago I wrote an article about the trend Ombré Nails. Now I'm going to talk about fading ombré nails.

What are fading nails? Fading nails are like the original ombré nails but a little different. If you want ombré nails you paint each nail the same color but in different shades from dark to light, or light to dark.

If you want fading nails you're going to paint one nail a color in different shades. From the tip of your nails to your cuticle. You can do it in one color, two different colors or a rainbow of colors. It's just what you like.

Trend: Ombré Nails

Ombré manicure, the nailtrend of this year. Actually spring 2010, but here in Europe you can still wear it and pull it off!
You might have seen the Ombré-look before in different hairstyles. But what does Ombré mean? Ombré is the term for shading.
This term in fashion was a huge hit mid 90s.. and it has made its comeback in the fall of 2008!



That was a little historyclass about ombré, onto the nails:
It's very easy to do it on your own nails.
When you start with Ombré nails you have to pick out five shades of the same colors. When you don't have five shades of one color you can also choose two colors, one color you like and a black/white to mix in varying degrees in color.
When applying start at with the darkest color on your pinkynail, then color each nail towards the thumb a shade lighter. 
If you like you can also start with the darker color at your thumb and color every nail towars your pinkynail a shade lighter.

Trendsetter of this nailhype is Lauren Conrad. She was one of the first people who we've seen with this naillook. This picture of her and ofcourse her nails is made over a year ago.

Enough talk about this trend. There's already a new nailtrend around ombré. I'm going to write an article over it in a couple of week.
