“Weak, brittle nails can be an indicator that something internally needs targeted attention, as what’s going on internally manifests externally and usually affects how our nails, hair and skin look, feel and behave,” explains Shand. “The great news is you can naturally support the health of your nails by nourishing your body with an abundance of nutrient-dense whole foods, eating protein with each meal and not underestimating the importance of good fats in your diet,” she adds. “Weak nails are usually associated with a deficiency in B vitamins, iron, calcium and fatty acids, so ensuring you regularly include plenty of rich sources such as oily fish including wild salmon, eggs and (especially fermented) dairy in your diet is a great place to start.

Having your nails done is one of the greatest beauty joys. Whether you switch your manicure up every time by opting for some nail art, or are loyal to your classic pink manicure, there is something about having a new set of nails that brings instant joy. You can’t beat the feeling of perfectly shaped nails paired with some cuticle work and a fresh varnish to make your hands look more polished. However, there is something to be said for throwing caution to the wind and choosing a bold and bright manicure. A it feels so right for summer, especially now that holiday and wedding season is upon us. Whether it’s a bold swipe of pistachio green all over your nails, pastel abstract swirls in clashing colours or a slither of neon painted along the fingertips, there are so many ways...

We’ve seen the resurgence of Y2K trends in clothing, and now, it’s time to infuse the early aughts into your fingertips. “We’re seeing a comeback of Y2K fashion—rose-coloured glasses, baggy jeans, crop tops, and raver space buns,” says Lippmann. “For nails, that means we’re bringing out the space-age nail polish with multifaceted shimmers, colour travel, and cosmic colors.” Lippmann says the best way to try the trend in nail colours is to look for shades that aren’t quite one thing. Don’t go for a true take on a colour—try one that’s in between, like a duo-chrome shimmer.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

If you’re anything like me, you absolutely love having your nails done. But the hardest part is choosing a nail colour to commit to. While we’re big fans of nail art, or opting for a new, bold nail colour, there’s something to be said for timeless pink nails. Pink is dependable, goes with all of your outfits, and is neutral–without being boring. Whether you opt for a classic baby pink, an expensive-looking muted nose, or a subtle, translucent wash of pink–AKA, “clean girl” nails–pink is a the tried and tested colour we default to when we’re overwhelmed by nail colour options.

From the often velvet-covered chairs to the glass bottles of beautiful colour lined neatly on marble-effect shelves, there are many things that make a visit to the salon a magical experience. And after salons were closed for the best part of a year over 2020 and 2021, this year, we intend on taking full advantage of our appointment with our nail technicians. How, you ask? By opting for some stunning nail art.  Remember when nail art consisted of water-painted flowers and glittery dragons? Those were the days. However, after its short-lived moment in the early noughties, nail art really dropped off the grid for a little while. In stark contrast to the grandeur and excess of embellished talons and intricate patterns, for the last 10 years or so, nail trends and ...

There are boatloads of fun nail trends happening in the beauty world right now: mismatched shades on every finger, primary colours, neons. But what if your goal isn’t necessarily to look trendy or “fun,” but to look, dare we say, expensive? Playful nails aren’t always the move, especially if you’re going to a job interview or black-tie affair or if you’re simply trying to dress more sophisticated. What’s cool about nail polish is that it’s a really simple, affordable way to elevate your outfit—and just as effective at making you look more polished as a new cult bag, velvet hair band or any other elegant accessory. Whenever I want to look more adult (“richer,” if you will), I’ve come to rely on the following nine shades....

Easily the biggest print trend of 2022, abstract swirls initially began taking over our wardrobes, but now, they’re proving even more popular on the nail-art circuit. Choose classic black and white, or for a summery spin, opt for pastel tones. The easiest way to achieve this look is to paint your nails a base colour, and then use a nail brush to drag your chosen nail colour across the nail ti create a neat line.

I definitely live for luxury goods—bags, shoes, coats—you name it. One thing I don’t usually spend a ton of money on, however, is nail polish. I normally rely solely on the salon to provide me with my colour of choice, but recently I decided to change that. There are a lot of luxury nail polish brands out there that seem to offer more health benefits for your nails and totally unique shades. I figured at least a few of these had to be worth trying. I tested two different luxury polishes on each hand for a week. On one hand, I tested Butter London’s decadent formula while on the other, I gave Chanel’s most popular polish a spin. If you’re curious about how each performed after wearing them for a week, keep scrolling for the verdict and a few other luxu...

We like to think pedicure season is year around, which means it’s never a bad time to plan your polish MO. (If you’re a hot-pink person, these 20 shades have us feeling a certain type of way right now—just throwing that out there.) Electric shades of neon or pastel hues like mint have been the pedicure prescription of choice, but this year, we’re throwing some new colors into the mix just in time for your next salon appointment. Yes, scarlet reds and go-with-everything nudes will always be on the polish menu for our toes, but we’d also like to introduce more unexpected nail colours like dusty olive, denim blue, and antiqued shades of peach and pink for your consideration. Ahead, we’re highlighting the 12 best pedicure colors ...

I know it’s hard to keep up with the constantly revolving door of nail trends lately, but let’s just take a step back and appreciate the simpler things in life like, oh I don’t know, a few nail colours for spring, maybe? I’ve gathered an impressive roster of hues that seem to be popping up everywhere these days. I won’t lie, though—I had a little help from celebrity manicurist Elle Gerstein. She dished on all the shades she’s using this season and what designs she’s loving lately. “Designs I’m loving right now are impressions and pops of bold pastel,” she says. “They’re great for brushstroke techniques and abstract art—both are going to be very big. The colours are muted but when combined correctly can make an imp...

If you’re like me and are constantly checking Pinterest for the latest and greatest nail trends, you’ll appreciate what I’m about to share with you. Whether I need to find the right coral polish for my skin tone or just want to easily re-create my favourite nail art designs (yes, I keep busy), I turn to my trusty inspo board to keep it all in one place. Now, there’s also another realm of the nail design universe that I haven’t fully explored yet: pastel nail ideas. I’ve always loved pastel hues, but rarely think to create new nail looks with the shades—weird, I know. But now that I’ve created a whole new board dedicated solely to changing this, I called in an expert to share some of her favourite looks using these soft-tone...
