Nail Trends: Spring/Summer 2013

I am obsessed with nail colors and personally change mine rather frequently. I think its a fun, simple and cost effective way to exude your personality.What colors work?  Personally I try any colors that make me smile when I look at them- But here are some tips you can consider when choosing a nail colour. 

# Occasion: Is it for work, party or simply for fun ? 

# Consider your overall look: What look do you want to achieve? 

# Glamaliciouselegance: go for looks that are glamorous and elegant ( I have seen some nail designs that simply look tacky and over the top, if you want to be adventurous play with colors and not crazy 3D designs. If you really love your stones, go for classic designs with white stones and not outlandish flowers and whatnot sticking out of your nails)

# Age: make sure your nails are age-appropriate, don't wear loud colors if you are over 25, it screams i-am-trying-to-be 15 again (unless of course you are a rock star ). Cobalt blue, electric blue, reds, purples, army greens and mustard colors are great for adults but not bright greens and yellows for example.


HERE ARE MY TOP 4 NAIL TRENDS 

 Dee's Nail Fav 1: Moon Mani

Vivienne Westwood Spring/Summer collection 2013 opted for the Moon Mani trend 
This is a rocking new alternative to the traditional French manicure known for its elegance and timelessness. This is great for those who are opting for a chic yet glamorous look. There are two ways to do this. The traditional lighter base with the darker tip.My personal fav ? Opt for a darker base colour and pair it with a lighter tip- the colors can be anything you want- pair it with your fav shoes or eye colour for that extra oomph! Make sure to create a crescent and not a perfect manicure tip. You are the Picasso of your nails here- Have fun!

Dee's Nail Fav 2: Metallic Chic

Elie Saab, Moschino and Jason Wu spotted the Metallic Nails for Spring /Summer 2013
The metallic nails to me are very high fashion and classy. The solid hues with the sheen is fun and wearable for the career woman and fashionista. Choose colors that will accentuate the metallic sheer, like silver, black or cobalt blue- pair it with a rock chic wardrobe for that ultimate edge. 

Dee's Nail Fav 3: Colour Me Dark Purple

Marchesa Luxe Purple Spring/Summer 2013
A variation to the black we see all the time, the luxe dark purple colour adds a sense of mystery to a woman wearing it. This is a great way to tone down a look for ladies who love colors in their dressing- pulling the entire look of sophistication. Think Megan Fox- dark, twisty and sexy. 

Dee's Nail Fav 4: Au Natural  


Thinking of going natural? Here's a perfect way to start. Do natural looking nails that will go with any style. Choose a just-been-pinched pink shade or semi transparent tones or stylize your nude nails with shapes like oval or semi-circles in pale or milk colors to be different. Perfection.
