Good morning lovelies. Hope you're having a fabulous week!
Today I'd like to talk a little bit about nails. From your comments over the past few weeks, I can tell that a lot of you are obsessed with nails these days. And you're not alone. I'm right there with you. Us and pretty much everyone else it seems.
I've been monitoring nail trends since I first started working in the beauty industry {I won't count the years because then I'll feel real old, but trust be it's been a loooong time:)} and this is, by far, one of the most exciting times I've seen in the nail arena.
Sure there was
Vamp {which was released my first year working in the beauty industry. Hint, hint :)},
Minx, and a few other things that made women excited over the years, most notably limited edition shades especially those released by Chanel, but we're really all over the place now.
Glitter and metallic, ombré nails nails executed two ways...each finger a different color in progression from light to dark or ombré on an individual nail from root to tip, glitter accents... glitter French tip, reverse French and glitter ring finger, matte, matte/shiny blends,
crackle,
nail strips, and my latest obsession
magnetic nail polish. There's a lot going on, no?
A little bit about magnetic nail polish. I know it's been available in Europe for a while now but the states are finally getting a taste of it.
Nails Inc. recently launched in Sephora US it is beyond fabulous! The nail color is infused with metallic particles and after applying the second coat you hold the magnetic bottle cap over your nail to create at really cool 3D looks. You can play for hours, I promise! Too much fun especially for a beauty junkie like me. :)
So what about you all? Any particular nail trends that you're playing with these days? Have any of you tried magnetic nail polish before? If so, 'd love to hear how you like it.
Enjoy the day, sweets!
xoxo
