Spring/Summer 2014 Nail Trends

This spring and summer  2014 is all about bold brights such as rich fuchsia, bright pinks and funky orange.  If  you really want stand out this summer, then nail polish in cobolt blue is the way to go, it certainly looks amazing paired with tan skin and a coral dress! If the electric blue is bit OTT for you then try a nail polish in mint or  light blue, another must have color for this season.  Last but no least,  I also like the white nail trend for a more crisp and polished  look.

Have a look at  some of my favorites for this season.

NAIL TREND AUTUMN/ WINTER 2013/14

Burgundy and Oxford blood red are the trend colors for the season autumn/winter 2013/14 and if you are getting tired of the summer pastels and corals then this is a nice change for your nails. I think both shades are great autumn colors, very expensive and classy looking and they suit all skin tones.

Here are some of my favorite burgundy and dark red OPI nail polishes to try.

Autumn and Winter Favorite -Rimmel Pro in 393 Desire

One of my top favorite nail polishes for this autumn and winter is Rimmel’s Dark Red Shade in 393 Desire.

This nail polish is part of the Rimmel Lycra PRO line, with a large Maxi brush that makes application so easy and streak free.

393 Desire is a stunning shade, very vampy and sultry. It's a very dark black cherry, with plum shimmer infused throughout. It looks like dark brown from afar while up close it looks more like dark plumy red.

It goes on perfectly without streaking and is reasonably long lasting. I always use base coat and then I apply two coats on and finish with top coat.

Available in Boots for a bargain price of € 4.95

MAC Nail Lacquer - Impassioned

Summer Favorites:Dior Vernis and Addict Extreme Lipstick in Rivera

I was in love with tangerine and coral colors this summer, and feel quite sad, that the summer is over and now I've a feeling that should turn more to darker and richer berry shades for the autumn and winter. Blah! That's all I can say, not my favorite time of the year. Roll on summer 2013.

My favorite nail polish that came out this spring/summer 2012 is Dior Vernis in 537 Riviera, a lovely hot orange coral shade. It looks fiery, but still very feminine. I definitely wouldn't call it a straight orange or coral, but it does lean more on the orangey side with a slight reddish undertone. I also find that in different lighting, the color looks different too. Two coats and you get rich full coverage and with proper application the nail polish lasts almost a week on my nails.

Rimmel Lycra Pro Nail Polish - 317 Coral Romance

I have serious love for Rimmel nail polishes and generally find them to be of a fairly high standard. Great range of colors, decent staying power, quick drying and easy application, what’s there not to love?

Rimmel Lycra Pro Nail Polish promises 10 days without chipping and I can't vouch for that, but it can stay put for 5 days, with good base and top coat.

 The shade 317 Coral Romance is a lovely true coral: Not pink, not orange, not red.

The brush is very wide, but that's not a problem for me really, but if you have small nails I could imagine the brush may be too large. 

Available at Boots.

summer favorites - MAC Morange and Rimmel Sun Downer

My favorite color of this year is with no doubt tangerine. To me it’s the new black.  I cannot put into words how much I love this color. It  really make me happy, it lifts my mood and it spices up every of my outfits.  

Equally, I am in love with the MAC  lipstick in Morange, and herefore I declared it as my favorite lipstick of this summer. MAC Morange is a bright orange- red lipstick, but more orange than red and I always find that this lipstick brightens up my face instantly, no matter how tired and sleep deprived I am, people would always comment how  fresh and rested I look like.

 My favorite nail polish of this summer is  the Rimmel 60 seconds nail polish   in 440 Sun Downer. Every time I apply it to my nails, I can’t stop looking at them all day long, it’s that addictive.

What is your favorite lipstick and nail polish at the moment?
