With NYFW winding down, I’ve had a chance to see all of the exciting new manicure styles for Fall Winter 2016. I noticed a trend returning back to the more simple and less over the top nail designs that we’ve been seeing for the past two years. These are some of my top everyday nail looking that will have you looking polished!
Do you have a favorite look?
I am having serious nail envy with this matte manicure. Gray matte nails are glamorous, grown up and just a little bit edgy.
Nonie Creme Colour Prevails Nail Lacquer in Mr. Big ($8 at Walgreens and Walgreens.com) More like Fifty Shades of Slay! This beautiful slate grey named after our favorite Sex and the City man is the perfect complement to just about every tone in your wardrobe and a matte finish only ups the trend factor.

With designs that always strike attention, Jenny Packham’s SS 16′ collection will keep individuals talking.
Packham’s collection included beautiful dresses that would be perfect for a celebrity’s red carpet look. Clothing filled with plenty of glitz, glamour and GLITTER!
Jenny Packham‘s Spring/Summer 2016 collection was directly inspired by the music of Nick Cave and PJ Harvey. To complement the earthy, ethereal vibe, Rita Remark for essie, the brand’s new Global Lead Educator, chose two nail looks: a standout bright blue to add an element of fun, and a soft, sheer pink that perfectly paired with the gowns.
NAILS:
To go with the look Jenny had her models use nail polish by Essie. The colors were a bold blue, called “good to go”. Those who did not sport this statement of a color went with more of a neutral shade called “adore-a-ball”. This pinkish color also went on the models toes, giving them a very neutral pedi to go with their shoes – Christian Louboutin’s of course.

MAKE-UP:
The look for the afternoon was created by Talia Sparrow for Laura Mercier. Sparrow added an extra strike of beauty to the models with her make-up craft. Creating a “made for the runway” torqousie blue eye shadow, which was made just for the show. Models showcased their natural skin tone for a more youthful look with added highlights to the face, creating a gold tone to their faces. To top off the look Sparrow had the models sport a bold red lip, which also went perfect with the shoes, matching the famous red bottoms.

As the weather warms up and summer is in the air. It’s time to break out the bold, pretty colors of summer. Honestly, it’s been a while since I had a manicure (or pedicure). So I decided to treat myself to a bit of pampering at my local nail salon. After my mani/pedi and mini-massage I felt amazing.
This warm weather calls for a fun color, that is bright, cheerful and just screams summer. So I opted for one of my favorite brand, Essie, I chose Essie in Too Taboo. The color description: “This vivid intense fuchsia is poised to take the world by storm. Sit back, relax and enjoy the glow.”
So what do you think of Essie Nail Polish in Too Taboo? What color are you wearing on your nails this week?
