Ok…I lied black nail polish is defiantly still IN…and I don’t think it’s going anywhere! But bold, bright, colorful nail polish is so in this season! Now I know this is not a new trend, but I was about to paint my nails and I realized how much I love this trend and I had to share it with all of you! The color that inspired this post…and somewhat inspired my entire blog…Mesmerize by Essie. It’s a rich cobalt blue and it is beautiful! Other colors I adore: Green-wich village by OPI, No Room for the Blues by OPI, Mint Candy Apple by Essie, and of course any hot pink color!
Another fabulous recent trend: matte nail polish. It doesn’t seem like this trend is taking off as much as it should be…but I may be wrong. Personally I’m a little torn. I bought La Paz-itively Hot-Matte by OPI and I do like it…but it was pretty much the only color I liked from OPIs matte collection. Although I have seen pictures of matte black polish I really liked! There are also several top coats you can put over your normal glossy polish to make it matte. I personally have not tried this but I am defiantly planning on it! The only downside to matte nail polish is it doesn’t last as long as glossy nail polish. It states this in the tag that is on the bottle when you buy it. Mine lasted a day, at most, before it started chipping.
