The Beauty Within: Nail Trends-Spring 2012

As a teenage girl and a lover of all things girly, I can't say that I'm not excited for the new nail trends this season. The trends seem to be going on the simple route, something I'm not quite used to when it comes to my nails. I usually gravitate towards bright, obnoxious, neon colors (such as China Glaze's "Flip Flop Fantasy"). But, I guess everything is worth a try! I'm not saying that it's all nudes and beiges from here on out, there will be some brights! But, be prepared to see lots of creams and pinks. A lot more neutrals than neons will be hitting the market this season.

Here's a list of fun and girly nail trends that I put together to share with you, check 'em out!

1. Simple Shades

Pale pinks, grays, whites, beiges, and nudes will be a must have for this season. I do enjoy the simple, sophisticated look of it and I will certainly be trying this one out.

Neutrals:

Essie-It's Delicate

Essie-Potato Field

2. Ladylike Colors

Colors that are very mature and sophisticated are in this season. Be on the look out for reds, cranberries, elegant pinks, and mauves hitting the shelves and on the runway. Red is a very classic, and "grown up" color that will never go out of style.

Radiant Reds:

Essie-Soiree Mauve

Essie-Plumberry

3. Fancy Patterns and Pearly Tips

This season, don't be suprised if you see bedazzled nails and beautiful, elegants patterns with reflective finishes. This is something I am personally excited for. I absolutely love the look of patterned, wallpaper nails and glitter. I also LOVE the look of duochrome nails, it's such an edgy look. But, I feel like it can be girly and wearable at the same time. This one is something I hope will stay around for quite some time, even after this season is over.
