Nothing completes a look like a great manicure.
From subtle and chic to striking and bold, your nails say a lot about your
style and character and they can often make or break your look. As with
any fashion accessory, the quality of the product should be the determining
factor when making your decision. To ensure that you receive the highest
quality nail care, always go to a salon with a trusted staff and updated
trends. Beautifully designed nails not only show people that you take
care of yourself, but they also give you yet another canvas on which you can
showcase your creativity and individuality.
As with clothing, the choice of how to design your
nails provides a wonderful opportunity for you to access wearable art.
With styles and technicians improving season after season, there are endless
ways to glam up your nails. Here are a few leading trends currently worth
noting:

Shattered Paint Designs
The "Shattered" effect is achieved by
combining your choice of bottom coat with one of the six Shatter Shades, the
latest from OPI’s Katy Perry line. This edgy choice is the perfect
compliment to that little black evening dress, or it can be applied as the
final flourish on a fierce, rocker-inspired look. Pair this design with
heels and gold accents to really own the look.
Embellishments
Embellished nails feature vivid, three-dimensional
designs that are decorated using EZFlow and the latest tonalities from OPI.
While they often appear with a flower motif and stylish rhinestones, the
possibilities for this look are virtually limitless. Go for a subtle
composition with pastels and a minimalistic pattern or really highlight the
embellishment using gems and bright hues. The result can be either cute or alluring
depending on your nail length and the number of embellishments you incorporate.
Animal Prints

With animal print nails, you have the chance to
embody your favorite four-legged creatures. Express your wild, feminine side
with the authentic colors of a cheetah or leopard, apply partial zebra stripes
for a unique, offbeat approach, or stylize the look by choosing bright neons.
Finally, you can add some dazzle with a shimmering topcoat or chic
embellishments to really accent the overall design.
One thing to remember about your nails is that they may be
the first (or last) thing people notice about you. Whether you are shaking the
hand of a new acquaintance, waving goodbye to an old friend, or holding a drink
in a crowded restaurant or cafe, your nails will often leave a lasting
impression. So whatever the situation, make sure to let your inner beauty and
personality shine. While keeping up with nail trends can be fun, it is
important to always retain your own style. Panisa Thinkohyao, owner of
Beauty Studio, says it best: "Anybody can copy or imitate a trend. A real
artist will master that trend and individually bring the inner beauty out from
each customer."
