Beauty trends move so quickly that it’s sometimes hard to keep up. New weird and wonderful ingredients appear in products which claim to have revolutionary effects – snail serum and sheep oil for example?
Nail trends are no different. Thankfully, Ellisons have just release a brand new guide to nail art for 2017. Have you ever thought about what your chosen colour of nail polish says about you? Red signifies confidence, whereas yellow demonstrates happiness and black is a sign of power.
Pastel tones
As with all aspects of fashion, trends begin to emerge early on in the year. This year, pastel coloured nails are making a comeback in a big way. However, rather than going for one pastel colour, why not try a different shade on each finger, creating a rainbow effect across each hand!
Block colours
Contrasting colours were a constant on the catwalk last year, and it seems to be much the same in the early months of this year. Colour blocking is all about contrast, so whatever colours you go for make sure they stand out against each other.
Au Naturel
Natural nail colours are nothing new in the world of fashion, but they are set to stay in 2017. The simple and classy aesthetic achieved with a creamy nude or blush pink can be worn in the daytime as well as at night. Pale coloured nail colours are thought to have a lengthening effect on the appearance of your nails too!
As well as keeping up with the latest trends to make sure your nails are on point, it’s important to take good care of them too! Before applying any nail polish, it’s essential to prepare; trim, file and buff to give your nails the best chance of looking great! It’s so easy to neglect your cuticles from a nail care regime but they should certainly not be overlooked. Finally, when painting your nails, always use a base coat to protect your nails from becoming stained by the polish. It will also provide an even surface to apply the coloured polish.
