As the beginning of the year rolls in, the thought of reinventing your personal style comes into play. From that daring haircut you’ve always wanted to making over your entire wardrobe like you’ve always planned. But if you’re looking for a subtle change, start with your manicure. It’s a fun small way to express your personal style and the days of wearing one color (or the squared tip French manicure) are long gone. Try these fresh looks to rejuvenate your manicure.
SPLATTER
A mess can sometimes be beautiful especially on your nails. When done right – the perfect combination of colors and randomness – the splatter technique for nails keeps people guessing…and talking about your nails.
HALF MOON
This trend spread like wildfire when it hit runways a couple seasons ago. Now fans of this look have incorporated everything from glitter to triangles – taking the style to a whole new level.
MARBLE
Water marbling has become a hit on the nail scene. Far from a safe choice, this technique requires lots of colors and courage.
OMBRE
A great way to show the different shades of the lacquer you of your liking, the ombre manicure takes your nails from light to dark or vice versa. The ombre trend can also be applied to individual nails to create a gradient effect.
CHEVRON
Up and down stripes are a thing of the past. Chevron is great alternative to regular vertical or horizontal lines that can be executed in a variety of widths and colors.
