Stylish Tuesday ?Runway Inspired Nails

Eye catching nails continue to radiate the runways and I’m borderline obsessed with it all!  Yes, the gowns are the highlight, but there is something magical about those small details {such as the model’s nails} that seals the deal.  Over the weekend, I had a conversation with a young lady who mentioned that she dresses conservative, but loves to wear unique designs on her nails as a form of self-expression.  Are you guilty of this?

My thoughts on nail art, “the bolder the better.”  Nails are an extension of your individual style, so have a little fun and think outside of the box.

From cobalt blue pointy nails to short and sassy red nails, I’ve rounded up several runway inspired looks that will enhance your fingers {and toes} in anticipation for Fall 2013.

Your nails are like any other accessory and should not be neglected.

“A few timeless trends include but aren’t limited to classic french, color french, glitter accents or glitter dusted colored nails.  Also, bling jeweled, color-blocking, geometric, and matte & gloss French/patterns have been featured on models across multiple seasons at many fashion shows,” says Mikal Weathers, Owner of Mikal’s Beloved Nails in Waldorf, Maryland.

Nail art has it’s own universal language.

“Deep shades rule this Fall season.  Hues of Teal, Plum, Grey, and of course the staple black manicure will be seen on the hands of many socialites and office executives a like,” says Mikal.

“Whether you’re 27 or 87, one trend that will never go away are red nails!  Delicious cherry red nails.  Not only is it a classic look, it can be worn in the cold of Winter through the heat of Summer.  It’s a year-round trend.  Don’t be scared to try it!  The myths about red nails are not true,” says Katrina TheGlam Artist.

What hues will you adorn your nails with this Fall?  For me, I’m sticking with my two favorites “Little Brown Dress” by Essie and Ruby Red Slippers by Deborah Lippmann.
