spring 2010 nail trends

here is what was seen in last september's fashion week (for spring 2010) on the runway when it comes to nails: while some can pull these off, some feel a little uncomfortable wearing such long nails. so at CHANEL's spring fashion show there were some runway models pulling the same simpler version:
the best nail polish out there is lines such as; OPI LACQUER(not matte and not nicoles) and CHINA GLAZE. they last the longest and add the prettiest shine. you can find OPI at target for a reasonable price (ranges anywhere from 5-10 dollars). CHINA GLAZE can be purchased at beauty supply stores such as peerless, salleys, etc. nail polish seems to be more of a collectors item, so what we found to be the most cost friendly is... ta ta da daaaaa

2 coats of any cheap nail polish brand + 1 top coat of clear OPI lacquer or CHINA GLAZE = long lasting polish

our take:

hairstylist: not only do i look at my hands all day but so do my clients. it's fun to see my clients notice my nail color choice then glance down at the magazine and notice all the models have the same color choices on too. i personally like to get my nails extended by the gel nails (my hands are in and out of water all day) and then paint these colors over top. i think the colors are so simple and chic. love them!

busy mom: um. i have a confession. i am looking at sad, chipped fingernail polish as i type. i love having pretty, manicured nails, but i don't always take the time to do it regularly. so, anything that would make my nailcolor last longer is a definite plus!

happy vogue.
