Nail and color expert, Esther Rosales of Es- ther’s Nail Spa on the southwest side of Chi- cago, gives us the rundown of the hottest nail trends and colors fresh off the halls of the 2017 Hair & Beauty Expo. This spring and summer, pinks have a huge presence. From soft pinks to hot pinks, this ladylike color is going to be everywhere. If you’re not feeling girly and edgy is more your style, metallics are where its at. Gold, silver, pewter — these shades work for both the office and late night antics. If you’re heading to dream beach vacation or just want to go all out summer fun at the pool, a bright turquoise colors will make any mer- maid envious. Unmatched mani/pedi colors are on the rise with many people choosing a lighter color for mani and bolder colors for their pedi. Of course, if your choose to match your colors, you’re free to do so. For a blinged-up effect, glitter always has a place on the shelf no matter what the trend or season may be. And since sandal and flip flop season is in full swing, pretty designs like flowers, stripes, swirls and even crystals on the big toes are always a big hit. April-June 2017 - GEM Food Mag | 31
