Stand out nail designs have taken a dominant presence as a trend this season. Some nail designs are so bold that they can even stand alone as an accessory!

I recently collaborated with a nail artist when I styled a client for her photo shoot. We reviewed her outfits to discuss coordinated nail designs. The result… she created five different press on sets of nails for each one of the five outfits. The nails became the perfect finishing touch!

Here are a few of the leading trends to add polish to your style and show your personality!

Metallic 

Layers of gold, silver and bronze dazzle this season. Shade-shifters are the newest addition to the metallic family, adding a variety of hues and tones to nails. Metallic nail polish is a bold statement that can show a little edge in your personality and stands in as an interesting way to accessorize.

Deep Jewel Tones

I love jewel tones! They add a touch of femininity to any outfit. If your outfit needs a lift to show your softer side, try an amethyst lacquer for a dash of elegance.

Noir 

As the sunny days of summer fade and fall is in the air, dark, shadowy shades look seasonally right. Rich tones of red and midnight blue are popular choices of the super chic. Dark tones give a well-kept maintenance appeal that keep you looking super polished and stylishly professional!

Electric 

Shades of pink and orange look playful this season! These bright pigments scream “look at me” as we transition between summer and winter. I love how they can make any outfit look fun and quirky.
