It used to be our designer bags that defined us. Then it was our shoes. And now, it’s our nails. Suddenly it is of the up most importance to keep your nails bang on, if not ahead of trends.
When autumn reared its chilly head, we lusted after dark polish’s like Chanel’s green-blue ‘Peridot’ to pair with our increasingly heavy layers and pale pallor. December brought f -f-f-freezing frost, along with festivities and a desire for sparkling nails to rival the fairy lights on our tree’s. For this look we turned to OPI’s fabulous glitter polishes.
But now that our evenings are getting a little longer and our fake fur is getting less than a daily outing, we seek shades which will bring us closer to spring without screaming ‘summer colour’. Shades for the in-between season. Step forward neutral nudes and toffees.
For almost edible, soft toffee and caramel hints, try ‘ Lower Sloane Street’ by Nails Inc or ‘Barefoot in Barcelona’ by Opi. Or to add instant chic, we suggest a creamy, flesh coloured nude like ‘Brooch The Subject’ by Essie (above image).
Find neutral shades drab? Look down at your hands when wearing them. Notice how long, slender and sophisticated your fingers look?
Suddenly they are much more brilliant than boring!
What nail colour are you wearing during this ‘in-between’ season?
