Mommy Fashionality

Jump to Comments

As the mom of a 2 year old (who will be 3 next week) and a 5 1/2 year old, it’s quite easy to go ridiculously long periods of time without a manicure and/or pedicure. However, in recent months I’ve been making an effort to polish my fingernails more. It’s funny how such a small thing can add a spark of color, express your personality, and make you feel good! Even though I know your days are busy and filled with “non-nail friendly” tasks such as washing dishes, cleaning tubs, and other forms of mommy manual labor, I encourage you to take a few minutes at least once a week to sit down and paint your nails (or visit the nail salon to have them painted). Add a little spunk to your outfits with hot nail colors!!!

Here are a few of the latest trends in nail color. (We love that nail color has trends!)

1. Navy polish (some girls like black polish, but try Russian Navy by OPI)

2. Minx nails (thin polymer sheets are placed on nails to create a shiny, futuristic look; Beyonce often wears these; also spotted on the Chanel runway.)

3. Ombre nails (fade to black for this cool effect but you’ll definitely have to visit the salon for this…please don’t try this at home )

4. Glitter it up! (rose-gold flecks in black lacquer to glam it up)
