Beauty NAIL DESIGN TREND NAIL TRENDS 24 COSMOBIZ SALON DECEMBER 2015 Images from Riya’s Nails, www.riyasnails.com | Instagram @riyathai87 Images from Julie www.jesuisvernie | Instagram @jesuisvernie N ail art has grown to the extreme; it used to be as simple as painting on dots and stripes, and now we’re seeing diamond studs, caviar, and even 3D designs. But sometimes it’s nice to tone down a bit and keep it clean and simple; with just a few intricate designs here and there will add a stunning look to your nails. The trends for nails this season are metallic nail polishes, updated French manicures, artistic splatters like Jackson Pollock’s famous paintings, matte nail polishes, and ombre with a glittery twist. We’ll mostly see minimalist designs, rounded nails, and dark colors. Red nail polish is in this season, as well as black. We’re also excited that gray and blue are a choice for nails! If you’re more into neutrals, then beige is the choice to make. Another trend for nails involves nail care. Nails often get neglected in terms of proper care, and we experience chipping, tearing, and peeling, which are all signs of weak nails due to age, long term use of nail polish, and too much exposure to moist conditions like swimming or dish washing. Treatments and strengtheners are a must to keep them healthy and strong. If you love painting and designing your nails, at least give them a spa treatment. Nail polish can be toxic for your nails, so treat them right and give them the pampering they need!
