NAIL this season’s hottest beauty trends as manicures get weird and wonderful.
If you are too nervous to introduce neons and tribal prints to your wardrobe, you can now try going wild on your nails instead.
Here are some options at your fingertips:
BLEACHED neon nails, above, have been big on the catwalks this spring as Drew Barrymore-style dip-dyed hair inspires dip-dyed talons.
To get the look, simply paint a bright candy shade on your nail bed, then wipe off half the varnish with a cotton pad soaked in remover.
Try Revlon Top Speed Fast Dry Enamel in Peachy, Electric or Guava (£6.49, Boots).
Perfect match
MATCHING make-up is back in fashion. Paint short, square-shape nails with a deep shade such as Perfection Quick Dry Nail Polish in Purple Rain or Dark Magenta (£5) and team it with Perfection Perfect Moisture Lipstick in Blackberry (£6, M&S).
Or for chip-free nails for up to three weeks, try OPI GelColor in Miami Beet or Lincoln Park After Dark (from £40, lenawhite.co.uk ).
Mother of pearls
GET luxury-look nails with 3D caviar pearls. Manicurist Zoe Pocock, whose clients include Lady GaGa, says: “Apply two coats of varnish, then sprinkle caviar pearls over your nail while they're still wet. Gently press and compact the pearls.”
Buy Ciate caviar sets (£18) at Selfridges or ciate.co.uk .
Fashion tribe
TRIBAL is a key look this spring and that extends to your hands. You can get the look quickly and easily with nail stickers such as Nail Rock Tribal Print Designer Nail Wraps, (£6.65, missguided.co.uk ).
Simply stick them firmly to your nail and file into shape. Use Nail Rock Dirty Works Jewelled Nail File (£2.99) and a 4-Sided Buffer Block (£2.99) from Sainsbury’s.
