Bold Nail Designs

We know we’re constantly talking about going bold in your fashion life. Doing the crazy color combos, wearing more patterns and appreciate the value of more is more. But how about the beauty side? We do love a bold lip statement as well as some colorful eye makeup. But most of all, we love bold nail designs!

Why Bold Nail Designs

Too often nails goes by as just another part of the body. And as true and obvious that might be, nails can also be turned into the statement of an outfit. If you’re a fashion dork with love for details, or just a fan of nail designs, putting some extra effort in the nail design is a hit. Statement nails really pops in a neutral outfit. We also love the contrast between our nails and clothes, which often is more notable than what you think. And frankly speaking, the hands (nails) are the body part you probably see the most = decorate them pretty!

 

Nail Trends

This season we’ve seen a lot of designers elevating their nail game. Opening Ceremony did a fun chess pattern on the nails, Nanette Lepore did scratchy black and white nails. Some of the more notable statement trends are geometric nails, bold manicure but also messy and undone. Zero + Maria Cornejo did lovely messy and undone nails, which are kind of foolproof as you only mess around and don’t even finish the nail look.

Bold Nail Designs

We know that painting nails is often a tricky one and not everyone like it. It’s often hard enough to get one color right, so doing patterns on the nails gets even more frustrating. Lucikly, with a lot of practice you’ll get better and there are tons of tutorials out there for all different sort of patterns. And even better, nail stickers have exploded the last year and comes in all shapes and patterns there is. They are often quite cheap and easy to deal with too!

Folks! What are your thoughts on bold nail designs?

Green Leaves

You know the drill of summer; beach, ocean, food and palms. Or more specifically, green leaves. Yes folks, the green leaves are kind of the pattern of the matter this summer!

What are the green leaves

Well if you haven’t caught the buzz just yet, read our post on the tropical patterns here! The leaves are Green Leavesdefinitely the go-to pattern of summer. Some people might state that the pineapple pattern is the print of the season, but we believe that both are equally as golden this summer! We sure can’t resist a good green leaves pattern, preferably one with tropical leaves. We’ve seen the pattern both at H&M and Dolce&Gabbana for the summer collections and we’re pretty in awe of the summer vibe!

How to style the green leaves

The leaves are bold in their shape and the pattern catches the eye right away. As they mostly come in the color of white and green, there are endless of options as for the styling part. Both white and green is great with bolder colors, and patterns in general are keen on being paired with colors. There are however three colors we like to highlight a bit extra; pink, orange and cognac. Chic, hipp and insanely fit!

What to think about

As for all patterns you don’t want to overdo it, if you’re opting for pattern with pattern be sure that they uplift each other instead of outdoing one another. And as the palm leaves gives a tropical feeling, don’t be afraid to enchance it or contrast it (whatever you feel like, truly). As for instance, a dotted pattern will make it more city chic, whilst an orange color would turn it even more tropical.

Folks, do you agree with us on the green leaves being the tune of the season?
