SUPER
NUDES
We're not talking about the nudes of yesteryear, which
were, in reality, a few shades lighter or darker than
your natural nail color, giving them a nude-ish feel.
No, the nudes are so perfectly color-matched,
they look like a smudge of nothingness—almost like a
tinted moisturizer for your nail beds.
CLASSIC
RED
We saw a hibernation of shiny red polish
over the last few years, but what is once old is always
made new again, and this year, we're seeing a revival of
classic, '90s-level red nails with true-red polish and
ultra-shiny top coats.
MATTE
BLACK
Unlike the shiny (and chipped) black nails of your My
Chemical Romance days, 2019's take on black nails is
definitively more subtle, and somehow more edgy, thanks
to a layer of mortifying top coat. Just paint it on in
lieu of your usual top coat, and watch your polish dull
itself down.
Neon
Neon nails also made an appearance on the
Fenty catwalk. Models wore bright statement hues in
pink, orange, yellow and blue, which were chosen to
match or clash with their accessories.
Metallic
and Chrome
Mix and match your polish with classic
colors and metallic accents. "We'll continue to see the
biggest nail trend continue" explains
Truong.
ABSTRACT
Funky and fun nail art makes a statement,
Try geometric shapes like circles, lines, and triangles.
OUTLINES
Alright, so maybe bright green isn't in
your future for this year's trends but outlines most
definitely are. Just paint on two coats of your
favourite polish, let them fully dry, then, using a
nail-art pen in a dark shade, outline the entirety of
your nails (you may have to do two coats) for the framed
effect. Let dry, then seal it all together with a top
coat.
MARBLE
AND PERUSE
Where, if not in nature, can we get new ideas? And
again, we appeal to the natural textures that this
season became marble and peruse. The color combinations
must be as natural as possible (black, white, gray,
turquoise, blue), and the charm will give golden shade.
ALMOND
NAILS
The
almond shapes nails that have been already forgotten is
becoming popular again. This name came from the
similarity of the nail and these nuts: oval at the base
and sharp at the end. The long “almonds” add some
elegance and sophistication. Take into account the fact
that it’s necessary to choose the color of the coating
and patterns carefully, as well as the outfit or image
suiting manicure.
