Top 3 Nails Ideas For Fall / Winter 2016

by Brenda Chan

Much like the rest of a total look, from clothings, shoes, makeup to accessories, the nails are an essential part to completing your beauty look. Somehow, they seem to set the moods of your outfit, playing it up or toning it down. For this fall/winter, we see the nail trends going minimal, with a play in color combination and the use of simple ornaments to create subtly beautiful, elegant digits. 

Using Two Or More Colors

Applying two different or more pure nail colors is the biggest trend for 2016 fall/winter. We have seen various photos of this nail style being shared on social media. Grey is the perfect color for the cooler season. You can combine a light and a dark shade of grey with nude polishes to create a very warm and harmonious effect. If you are not a fan of minimalism, you can play it up by adding a shiny nail color for more glamour.

If you are like me, who has a wardrobe filled with dark color clothes, a brighter nail color is your go-to pick. I don’t normally go for denim shade as the color is too bright, but when it is paired up with grey color, it looks so much cooler and chic! Definitely going to try this color combination next time!

Deep Color Lacquer

Winter is the season of deep colors. Black long coats, brown ankle boots, deep red lips... your outfit will not be complete without a deep color manicure. Dark, rich nail polishes give your look a more “wintry” feel, and make you more feminine. Dark polishes always go well with gold glitters. You can add some glitters to your nails and make them all shiny and bright! It will surely attract a lot of attention in a party or when you are simply strolling down the street.

Add In Some Lines Or Rhinestones 

Minimalism is widely popular in the beauty world recently, as seen in nude makeup, natural hair style and simple dressing style, just to name a few, so is it for the nail trend this season. “Simple is the best”. It is true when it comes to choosing your nail style this fall and winter. Simply draw lines or add rhinestones to your digits to create gorgeous, stylish-looking manis.

Minimal has maximum appeal and this is seen in the 2016-17 Fall/Winter Paris Fashion Week where Delpozo presents a nail design on a model with clear background and simple line down the center of the nail.

If sparkly things are your favourite, then pure nail color with a touch of rhinestones is the style to go for. The sparkling stones on pink, nude polish add glamour to this simple, modern look that you'll certainly love.
