Like every sane girl out there, I have jumped wholeheartedly on the gel manicure bandwagon, and why not? I mean who can resist a 2 week manicure? Of course there are pros and cons ( like the fact that it completely destroys your nails) but I am willing to overlook that for nails that are essentially
low maintenance. I am not usually the nails done kind of girl but lately I am into having fun with my manicures. The nail trends popping up are insane, and they definitely reach far beyond the "one nail a different color" trend that hasn't slowed since it sprung over 3 years ago. Deciding which
color or design bi-weekly has become a bit of a game for me; the more
unique, the better. So for today I share with you my
"TOP 6" manicures:
The "IT" List:
1. Flash Your Metallics : An upside down French if you will with a hit of metallic. For me it would be a matte nude nail with a rose gold accent
2. The Triangle Effect : Skinny or fat whatever you desire. Best done with a nude nail and a black triangle
3. Lined and Ready : Love the thin metallic line, however I would love to take this one step further and have a matte nail to really emphasize the metallic line
4. One Sided Story : I am OBSESSED! Love the white with the slim black lines
5. Star Crossed : Tiny metallic stars on a nude nail. Whimsical, understated perfection
6. Evenly Odd : An uneven French. Enough said especially in those colors, nude and black
