Summer Nail Trends

One of my close family friends was wearing this summers hottest nail trends the other day, the cracked/blast effect manicure http://sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P290100&categoryId=C19281. I decided to browse online and see what other nail trends were out there for this summer and found 4.

 

1. Moon Manicure:

Get the look:

* Nail Art Pen http://www.ulta.com/ulta/browse/productDetail.jsp?skuId=2201583&productId=xlsImpprod2300073&navAction=push&navCount=1&categoryId=cat80068
* White Nail Polish http://www.timetospa.com/body-and-detox/hand-and-nail/cnd-nail-colour-washed-down-white

2. Gold Foil

How to:

* Paint nails with a clear base coat.
* Apply So Easy Foil Tape by rubbing it directly to the nail, leaving a about a quarter of the nail bed exposed at the bottom.

3. Pop Art



Search for a good Minx salon (find a location here). Keep in mind this trend is more costly but does last longer than normal manicure/pedicures. If you are in Miami I recommend this adorable salon http://www.1160hair.com/. 

 

 

4. Decals



Tip:

Some heavy-duty nail glue will ensure your decals stay put. Layer a fast-drying topcoat over to set everything in place. If you want the look but aren't ready to commit, look for polishes with large pieces of glitter for some subtler razzle dazzle. You can get a good price on decals on Ebay http://shop.ebay.com/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=nail+decal&_sacat=See-All-Categories.
