NAILED IT: 6 Mani-Pedi Trends to Try

BY APRIL ANNE VILLENA

Nail polish continues to be on top of the beauty trend. The fashion industry and its undying effort to keep alive and updated constantly releases nail trends that have everyone intrigued. We’ve all seen the hype go from neon colors to basic monochromatic colors and today, there is a new batch of mani-pedi must-tries waiting for you to discover.

Gathered from celebrities’ sought after manicures and newly released colors of nail lacquer brands, here are 6 nail trends to watch out for and try.

1. Rose Quartz and Serenity Gradient

No one can ignore the pantone of the year and wearing it on the tip of your fingers and toes makes for a chic and classy compliment to a pastel-adorned wardrobe. What’s even better is the trending gradient nail design that gives you an opportunity to flaunt both colors at the same time.

2. Fleshy Peach, Beige, and Nude Palettes

There’s no denying that earth tones and natural palettes are at an all-time high in fashion this year. Along with your au naturel makeup comes a mani-pedi clad in beige and nude shades. If you want a little splash of color and deviating away from brown, you can go for a fleshy peach color that’s equally simple and sophisticated.

3. Navy Blue

This shade screams cool and sophisticated. While blue has been tagged as a difficult color to pull off, dawning a navy blue mani-pedi can be perfect for summer-nautical themed outfits for casuals and having it in metallic makes it spot on for long gowns and fancy cocktail dresses.

4. Highlighting Lines and Tips

Simple and sophisticated in design, adding on lines to highlight the tips of your nails was first seen on French manicure. Nowadays, you can style it up a bit and use different color combinations. Today’s trend includes putting a line just above the cuticle. This nail art design best complements sartorial looks and tailored outfits giving them a sleek and classy finish..

5. Glitter and Confetti Polish

Add a bit of shimmer and glaze into your nail polish palette and give yourself a metallic treat. Perfect for formal and elegant occasions, wearing glittered nail polish can give your looks the extra shine it deserves. If not all out sparkle, you can go for confetti nail polish that offers nail-art topcoats in addition to your bold colored mani-pedi. But be warned, knowing how to mix and match color palettes are a must with this trend.

5. Gray and Matte Black

Forget about monochromatic and pale black and white trends. For a deep but not overly dark tone, grays and matte black have been huge in amplifying modern and clean cut looks. This on-trend neutral tone gives you room to experiment with colors on your clothing, accessories, and bags.
