What are the hot trends for 2016 and your nails??

Don't know what you want to do with your nails or what to expect to see on everyone else's nails?? Lots of these looks were seen on the NYFW. Some are simple and elegant others are a little bit more out there but still fun to look at  Here are 6 different trends that you have forward to seeing throughout the rest of 2016:

  1. Nude nails are in full swing for 2016. you can definitely add simple nail art on top to keep the classy look without going overboard

2. Long almond nails are the nail shape for the year. The almond shape is a feminine shape that helps elongate your fingers and appear long and elegant.

4. Romantic Nails have a few different ways that you can interpret these... lace print over natural nails or a nude polish or small pale flowers. Stay neutral with the colours to achieve to this look.

5. Preppy nails have a couple different ways you can get the look. Keep it on the simpler side and draw on a few different sizes of lines or you can go for the full plaid look. Different colours will change up this style too!

and last but not least...

6. Graffiti-esque nails are also taking off in 2016. You can get this look by dipping a straw into coloured polish and blowing it onto your painted nails to get the splattered effect.

NAIL ART INSPIRATION

Madeline Poole: nail art guru.

Getting inspiration from other professionals is so great. I've posted many times about nails and nail art, but I feel this industry is forever changing. The possibilities are endless, and some people just keep "nailing" it. Madeline Poole is one of those people. Her stuff is so clean, colorful, original, wild, yet classy. She hits every point of nail art that I love.

NAILS, NAILS, NAILS.

We all love getting a good manicure, but who are we kidding...we are almost more excited to show them off afterwards.  Taking photos of freshly painted nails can be a tricky thing.  You want to show if not all of the fingers, at least most of them.  Fingers can be some of the toughest and most stubborn models I know, ha!  I always have a good giggle with my friends and clients when I ask them to pose for pictures.  Whether you're taking photos of your own work, or someone else's, my best suggestion is just to keep them relaxed and take a number of photos.  It usually doesn't happen on the first shot, so don't get discouraged.  The beauty of photography, is that you can edit and crop almost everything.  Good lighting and background are also key points.

Here are some photos to give all you nail addicts some photo inspiration...
