Top Nail Polish Trends of 2013



If you're like me and insist on keeping your manicure current and trendy, this is one list you're going to want to bookmark for 2013. I've put together the top most wanted nail trends happening right now for all my fashionistas




#1.   Holographic nails- Holographic nail polish made an appearance last year, but this year holographic nails are bigger than ever. From Beyonce to Rihanna, everyone has been spotted with 3D holographic nail trend. I recently tried the GOSH brand nail polish in "holographic hero" and it was perfect! Almost every brand has their take on this 3D polish, so browse around and find your favourite!

#2. Geometric Shapes- I’ve been seeing this trend for a while now, and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere. This trend also allows full creative input on your part. You could do triangles, hearts, squares, stripes or a mixture of these for a tribal look.. it’s entirely up to you. The trick that I’ve read over and over is to use scotch tape to get a perfect, crisp edge when creating your shape.

#3. Studs and Rhinestones- This trend adds some major drama and va-va-voom to your nails that screams fashionista! My tip would be to keep the studs or rhinestones to one-or-two nails instead of all ten; so then your nails don’t look too overdone.

#4. Prints- There are endless options for this trend.
Animal print, newsprint, floral.. are just a few that
come to mind! You have the option of buying nail appliqués to adhere to your nail (think nail stickers by Sally Hansen), or work free hand if you’re the artsy type. You also need to decide if you have a print on all your nails, or just one. Only having a print on your ring finger seems to be the all-the-rage right now!





#5. Caviar- this trend has been around for a while, but because of its popularity I feel like its here to stay for 2013. This trend looks like little beads all over your nail, and comes in multiple colours and shimmers. You can find caviar nail polish kits at most beauty supply stores like Sephora.

Grammy 2011 Trends: Glitter Ruffles & Jungle Safari

by Natalie Kushnir


So there’s been a lot of talk about the Grammys the past couple of days, best performances, opinions on awards, best and worst dressed, I can go on... but what caught my eye were the trending themes on the red carpet.


Grammy 2011 Fashion Trends: Glitter, Ruffles and Jungle Safari


Sequins, glitter, glam & shine.


From J Lo’s rockin’ shard and studded silver Emilio Pucci, Heidi Klum perfect as a princess in Julien MacDonald, to Katy Perry’s jewel pierced Armani bra, the red carpet didn’t miss a shine. Oh, and how could I forget to mention Hayley William’s in her Jeremy Scott black sequin and pink feather puff.















Ruffles for a lifetime.


Fashion statement or fashion mistake? Ruffles are hard to pull off, yet a variety of celebs still tried...Rihanna in a Gaultier dress, white ruffles head to toe. My opinion, she should have worn her performance outfit from Love the way you lie. Nicole Kidman turned Jean Paul Gaultier’s ruffles around in her floral strapless dress.











Leopard and Eggs.


Animal print is a classic, especially leopard print. But too much, could be bad, and Nicki Minaj turned this classic bad. Head to toe in Givenchy leopard print failed to impress for 2011. And Gaga’s egg...avant-garde gone wrong. As for Miley Cyrus, at least one kept up the status of animal print. Her Cavalli neutral toned sparkling dress caught at least my eyes!


















Now the fun part...wait and see what designs get mocked and sold in retail stores for consumers like me and you! Get excited for Spring / Summer 2011!
