Fashion Week in both New York and London have presented a pretty mixed bag of nail art, from super safe nudes to crazy fur-lined fingers. Here are some ingenious nail inspiration from the fashion shows for you to recreate some excellent AW16 influenced nails at home..
NUDE NAILS
You cant go wrong with a nude nail and we are seeing A LOT of nude talons at the shows. They go with every outfit, and elongate your fingers…
The Spring Barry M Nail Varnish colours are a dream for all of you nude nail lovers out there; and come in both Speedy Quick Dry and the Gelly Hi Shine varnishes. Boasting 8 shades of yummy ice cream like colours, we just want to eat them all up. They’re adorable. Available now.
EXPERIMENTAL
Ohne Titel Spotted Nails
You need some dotting tools in your life! They will help to create super teeny perfect dots on the nails. For this look mix up the sizes. We found some cute nail dotting tools on Amazon.
Delposo
We like the alternative stripes at Delposo, bleeding onto the cuticle and skin. Precision is key to get a lovely even stripe so what you need is a thin brush to help you do so. Here’s one from Sensationail.
Sofia Webster
The best and easiest way of getting a perfect blend is to use disposable makeup sponges. Simply paint the tip colour you want to blend, onto the sponge directly and pat away. Here’s some not-too-expensive sponges from Boots.
Gareth Pugh’s Clear Extensions
A little different from your normal nail extensions. We’re loving the clear tips at Gareth Pugh for a sophisticated look. We spotted these clear nail extensions on Light In The Box.
Charlotte Olympia’s Half Moons
Grab yourself some office supplies to help you; remember those sticky dots you used to use in school? They will help map out your half moons to perfection. Staples have these.
