Brew Beauty: Fashion Week Nail Trends

We’re smack in the middle of New York’s Fall 2010 Fashion week and, already, there are some pretty hot beauty trends emerging when it comes to the fingaz!

 

Blue is the hotness for the fall looks. Models at the Ruffian show rocked a reverse French mani with matte navy and gold polish. CUTE and probably easy to do on your natural nail, either freehand (if you’ve got skills) or with a French mani kit (explained here).

 

At the L.A.M.B. show, models rocked liquid-shine ruby nails. Take a look at the video for the full effect.

 

Another trend started by Carol’s Daughter and spotted by Glamour bloggers is the “Blackberry Bling” manicure. You use a different, more poppy color on your thumbs so when you’re typing on your Blackberry, the thumbs have more pizzazz. Seems kinda odd to me, but it might be cute for the youngsters.

 

Always the trendsetter, Rihanna sported a funky look last week. It’s an animal print mani similar to the lace nail demo I did last month. But, Rih punched it up a bit by using the animal print as a French mani and then covering it with some stones. I kinda dig it.

So the moral of the story here is… play with layers. Don’t just do one color. Try a solid color with a coat of shimmer or copper to give the nails some pop.  And if all else fails, go blue!
