Shatter polish was the big thing last season, bring on the yellow shimmers, nail art with Minx, artistic colour gloss neons, magnetic polishes and rockstar toes.
Magnetic nail varnish – say what?!?!
LCN has brought out a new type of polish which has metal particles mixed in with the polish so that they will react if a magnet is placed near the polish whilst it is drying on the nail to create unique and fun designs. You apply the polish to the nail then straight away hold an LCN magnet over the nail for 10-15 seconds and the polish will move into the shape of the magnet leaving behind the metallic pattern on the nail. There are different magnets for different designs. Lancome did something similar a few years ago but I missed the boat on that one, so as soon as I find out where on earth you can purchase these I will see if I can get one.
Neons are going to be massive all through the rest of the year and Artistic Colour Gloss have brought out some gorgeous neon blues, greens, yellows and a pink and orange that aren’t shown above plus lots of lovely so that you can have your favourite neon nails or toes but in a long lasting gel polish format. You can contact https://www.louellabelle.co.uk/ for your nearest provider of gel polish nails using Artistic.
Just like last Summer Minx toes are really hot for this Summer too, why stop a trend when it’s so good? Minx are nail designs which are heated with an infra red lamp to activate the adhesive backing then applied to the nail, smoothed, filed and trimmed and stay looking gorgeous for around a month. The cool thing about Minx is you can pick such designs as the hippy chick flowers above that would be either impossible or very difficult to create just with polish on tiny toenails and it’s a great way to bring colour to your look if you don’t like wearing bright clothes.
Rockstar toes are also really big this year, for the above pedicure I used the amazing Holly’s tutorial which I will post below and the glitter I used was Glitz Glitter to create some fabulously sparkly blinging rockstar glitter nails that will last for weeks and weeks and remain chip free due to the gel. Stunning!
Sophy Robson hosted her Nailporn bash last week to celebrate the launch of her salon in Chelsea and if you love her or just nail art in general (or want to see a random pic of Henry Holland getting a vaj/pejazzle…?) then you can take a look here http://www.sophyrobson.com/2011/06/nailporn-salon-launch-party-at-tuatara/
