There’s something about the non-permanent nature of nails that encourages more adventurous choices. Since you’re signing up for a maximum of three or four weeks with any particular design, you feel free to branch out and choose something experimental as opposed to say, a hair color that involves a much bigger commitment. A bold nail choice is just a fun way to test out new trends and express yourself with no strings attached.  Fashion girls, of course, already know this and are always introducing cool new nail designs I find myself saving to show my manicurist. Recently, I’ve noticed three designs sprinkled in my Instagram feed, and I predict you’re about to see them everywhere. From geometric shapes to reimagined florals, below are the ...

There’s something about wearing bright colours—be it by way of your clothing or your beauty routine—that just puts you in a good mood. And right now, we can’t think of a better time to lift our style with vivid hues and playful motifs. Handily, you needn’t invest in a whole new wardrobe to give your mood a joyful boost—in fact, one of the easiest and most-effective ways of elevating your style and making you feel happy is with a fun manicure. And recently, we’ve noticed that everyone seems to be opting for rainbow nails. Perhaps it’s the fact that many salons reopened last week but, over the last few days, we’ve lost count of how many rainbow-inspired nail looks we’ve seen. Some of the industry’s top nail technicians confirmed ...

Unsurprisingly, varnish sales have soared over the last 12 months, and painting our nails has become something of a cathartic pastime. Although our efforts cannot and will never compare to that of a professional, what we have discovered over the past year is that not all nail polish brands are created equal. Having inadvertently tried just about every nail polish brand out there between us, we’ve come to realise that some formulations really are superior, higher price points don’t always mean better quality, and chipping shouldn’t come standard. As always, we like to keep things positive, so instead of giving space to the brands that didn’t live up to our expectations, we’re spotlighting the brands that surpassed them.  From ...

One of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to transition your look between seasons is with a slick of fresh paint on your talons. While the moody colours of burgundy, black and navy always serve us well in the colder months, spring calls for a brighter polish palette. So which spring nail colours are we buying into? The classics. From orange-based reds and bubblegum pinks that look striking on all skin tones to the shade that minimalists always reach for, keep scrolling to discover the spring nail colours we’ll be wearing this season.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Along with gingham checks and basket bags, pastel nails are synonymous with springtime style. And now that we’ve turned a corner and officially entered the season, we’re keen to embrace the pretty manicure once more. Although pastels sound saccharine (we can almost taste the sugared almonds), that needn’t be the case. Of course, there are the petal-inspired shades of rose and lilac, but then there are the slightly punchier tones of mint and peach, which are arguably more in keeping with pared-back aesthetics. You might not think it, but pastel nail colours are also quite versatile. Although colourful, their powdery undertones loan themselves well to a multitude of other hues, meaning they’re less likely to clash with whatever you’re wearing than, say...

There’s a lot to consider when selecting the right nail polish. Does it complement your skin tone? Is it versatile enough to wear with your favourite clothes? Does it look cheap? While it’s typically pretty simple to answer all these questions ourselves, there’s also a very stylish crew we can look to for nail inspiration: the fashion set. This flock of street style models, bloggers, and cool girls are not only clued in to the most of-the-moment sartorial selections, but they’ve also got a finger on the pulse of the prettiest and often most unexpected nail colours out there. They’ve got eyes for aesthetics, after all, so it makes perfect sense that such good taste would extend to the tips of their fingers. Consider this your go-to guide of polishes y...

When it comes to decorating the nails of the stars, Mazz Hanna knows her way around a famous finger, having polished the talons of Julia Roberts, Emma Roberts, and Nicole Richie. Which nail colour does she think will be a hit this year? “It’s been a while since mint has been on-trend for nails, but prepare to see it everywhere in 2021,” she says. “It’s timeless, seasonless, and looks great on every skin tone. I also think the bare-nail trend will continue into next year, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we continue to see more natural buff and shine and sheer nudes.” Follow Mazz Hanna at @callmemazz.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Often, it’s the littlest things that can make the biggest impact, and nothing has the power to overhaul your look quite like how you choose to decorate your nails and the jewellery you pair with them. While many of us will inadvertently adopt style signatures—be it a red lip, flicked eyeliner or a penchant for a specific colour of dress—we believe that nails and jewellery present perhaps one of the coolest opportunities to put your personality across. For example, minimalists may opt for thin, layered rings, which they partner with a sleek taupe polish, while maximalists might choose bold hues and OTT nail art accompanied by chunky knuckledusters. And seeing as more and more of us have been trying our (shaky) han...

As you can probably denote from the stories currently populating our homepage, to say we’re excited about spring’s imminent arrival would be an understatement. With so much promise pinned on the next few months, our minds  are officially in spring-mode, regardless of the fact that the weather’s got some catching up to do. So, until we can slip into lightweight dresses and dust off our straw basket bags, we’re starting to carve out our springtime aesthetic in a way that doesn’t call for double-figure temperatures; by upgrading our nails.  You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Let me tell you something: Sixteen-year-old me loved black nail polish. I couldn’t tell you how many bottles of Rimmel London’s Black Cab I went through. So I’m delighted that black remains top of the basic nail colour leaderboard for an instantly chic mani option. “Dark navy and black have been very popular over the winter, projecting a cool New York vibe,” Huber-Millet told us. It’s true that deep nails seem to be popular with our American friends (Kerry Washington and Meghan Markle have both stepped out in sultry shades). If black feels a little too harsh for you, don’t worry. Most brands offer deep navy blues, forest greens and wine reds so you can get a similar effect without feeling too goth.

Whether you’re still mastering your at-home mani or are finally able to venture back to the salon, there’s one nail colour that’s already dominating the rest in terms of popularity this year. Now, we know you might be thinking of classic red or even soft pink (Ballet Slippers by Essie has definitely reached icon status), but neither is as universally loved as beige nail colours. That’s right. Beige shades—from light tan to rich, near-brown hues—can be spotted on the fingers of more celebrities and fashion girls than any other. In the “less is more” beauty landscape of 2021, it’s set to become even more popular. If this revelation is making your head spin, it’s probably because you think of beige as a boring shade. But as our most stylish pals...
