Beauty. Nail Trends - What's Hot Summer / Fall 2011

Copper

Army Green

Sapphire

Color Blocking

Leopard 'Shatter' 

At my nail appointment this week, I opted for the army green on my toes. I intend to try sapphire next. The YSL blue looks divine.

I've done color blocking on the nails a new and modern twist on the standard french manicure. I'm digging the "Shatter" leopard nails - must try that!

Updating your nails is a nice way to spruce up your look without breaking the bank.

Nail Art.

From a vast array of colors, press on foils and art, there seems to be an endless and growing range of choices for your mani-pedi. I discovered this nail art from London on Tumblr, if you live or are visiting the UK you're in luck!

You can also shop nail foils via Nail Couture LA, discovered from my friend and Beauty Consultant Shawanna Davis: Here

Nail Art. Sally Hansen's Salon Effects

The affordable drug store brand Sally Hansen will launch two new products this spring. One of which will be 'Salon Effects' nail polish strips coming in March, which I can't wait to try. With all of the options (24 to be exact) this should be a beauty must have to keep on hand for those who can't get in for those 'minx' manicures or simply save more than a few dollars.  The strips will retail for $9.99. Another addition will be new colors with names like 'Runway Red', 'Casting Call' and 'Model Behavior' by designer Prabal Gurung whose models wore custom Hansen colors to compliment his  2011 Spring/Summer Women's Collection.
