Nail it! Top Nail trends for AW 2014-2015 from the Runways
When it comes to fashion, nail trends are no longer considered to be just an extension of make-up; the past few years have seen nail artists carve their own niche in the world of style creating trends and looks that stand out from the crowd. Leading the way are brands such as Essie, Maybelline and CND who were the force behind The Blond’s extravagant look for AW14 (above). Want something a little more wearable? Check out these top 5 trends for AW2014:
Deep reds: seen at Wes Gordon, Burberry and Kenneth Cole - no one shade or hero polish stood out so whether you choose a warm, cool or sheer red just make sure it’s a dark one.
Gilded Nails: Seen at Naeem Khan, Proenza Schouler, and Marra Hoffman - the trick with this is to get a good quality polish with a solid, opaque finish.
Lace Effect: Seen at Ann Yee and Coach this versatile finish can be as delicate and lady like as your wish or bumped up to a more fishnet, edgy feel.
Half Moon Manicures: Seen at Zimmerman and Badgley Mischka this reverse french manicure can be subtle or full on. Some designers showcased jewelled half moons which added texture and glamour.
Metal Magic: Seen at Prabal Gurung and Tracey Reese, metallic shades are one thing you can always rely on being popular for the winter months whether you opt for gun metal grey, rose gold or classic silver.
