Trend Alert: Luxury Nails





Back by popular demand, is the 80's fashion era which has brought one the hottest new trends with it- nail art! Designer nails are so hot right now. Seriously, you can be so creative with your nails- from the intricate hand painted designs, different polish effects, adhesives, rhinestones, and piercings you can do just about anything to your nails. Don’t get it twisted though, there is a thin line between being "flyy" and being “ghetto”, so be careful!

Who knew nail technician had so much passion for their craft...I mean seriously, when I go get my nails done I don’t think the technicians love their job or knew that’s what they would do as a career- I mean how much of a promotion can you get by doing nails? But to my surprise there are people out there that really have a passion for it and work hard at it to make it their money maker. One artist that I’m a big fan of is Tina Gold. She is so dope...she describes herself as the Rolls Royce of nail design...that’s hot, right? Lol. Her designs stand out and she seems to be the ring leader of this trend right now. Check her out on her myspace page, www.myspace.com/nailsbytinagold.

Hollywood is jumping on this trend as well, remember Kid Sister and her smash hit, Pro Nails featuring Kanye? That song was hot! She’s a fan of nail art. The always fierce Rihanna wears phresh neon colors. Oh and Beyonce’s little sister, Solange- she has been rocking this trend lately too. So if you didn’t already know- you better jump on this trend and call a nail salon near you to make your appointment for your personalized nail art!
