Trend Alert: Turquoise Nail Polish
Among the many qualities that make Whitney Port (of The Hills) so lovely is that she has her own style. I've always thought of Whit as someone who sets trends as opposed to following them. So when I spotted this style star sporting shiny turquoise nail polish, I was excited.
Trend Alert: Metallic, Bejeweled Nails
Katy Perry isn't the only celebrity hopping on the sparkly, encrusted nail bandwagon. Beyonce had similarly wild nails with heart-shaped jewels on them last night at the MTV Europe Awards, and Kristen Bell was sporting iridescent foiled nails recently, too. I think this trend is so creative and cool, but what about you?
Trend Alert: Metallic Nails
On the Autumn/Winter runways at Chanel, Galliano, Prada, and Dior, the mood was all about dark, soft goth appeal and gutsy, edgy glamour.
Nails were darkly metallic, in shades of burnished bronze, glossy crimson, steely silver and shimmering black. After summer's love affair with bright lights, bold colour varnishes – such as canary yellow or bright orange – autumn's mood is more grown-up.
Trend Alert: Alternative Nails
First it was chipped nail polish, then the dark black shades of Goth Glam, and now alternate shades of nail varnish on fingernails is being tipped (ahem, excuse the pun) to be the latest trend.
Model Jodie Kidd and pop star Christina Milian have both been spotted mixing it up, lately. Christina has been contrasting very dark and pale colours together as well as different shades of brights.
Trend Alert: Black Nails on the Red Carpet
Looking back at the Teen Choice Awards, I was surprised to see a trio of black-nailed ladies. Lauren Conrad, Avril Lavigne and Sophia Bush all sported this shade, which I think should be saved for fall and winter—lighten up, ladies! And considering last fall's run on Chanel's Black Satin polish, I'm surprised that this trend is staying around.
Trend Alert: Raspberry Nails
Following the trend of raspberry lips from the fall runways, we are now seeing raspberry nails making a comeback! Just look at Lindsay Lohan sporting pink tips all over town. It looks like this is her signature color.
Trend Alert: Fruit Punch Nails
If any of you can get through the summer without shelling out cash on fruity beauty products, please tell me how it's done, because I'm really a sucker for this stuff. First, I was salivating over Bare Escentuals Fruit Smoothies eye shadow collection, and now, I'm ready to pounce on this season's fruit-punch nail color trend.
Style.com recently declared Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in Orange Blossom ($18) one of its perfect summer polishes, and now I'm finding it difficult to live without this tropical-melon tone.
Trend Alert: Gunmetal Nails
Here's a new twist on the metallic nail trend. Those who find black nail polish to be a touch too dark, red to be too bright, and yellow to be too over-the-top can find comfort in gunmetal gray. Gunmetal is a sleek, dark and sultry member of the silver family.
Trend Alert: Oceanic Nails
Over the last couple of days, celebrities have been popping up at Fashion Week and the 2009 Toronto Film Festival with more than a love of cool clothing or a movie premiere in common. From Rachel Bilson to Drew Barrymore, blue and blue-green nails are everywhere. I love that these traditionally warmer-weather shades are making the seasonal transition, and the range of fashionable colors means there are flattering colors and depths of tones for practically every skin tone.
Trend Alert: Yellow Nail Polish
Well, well, well. I wasn't so sure that this trend would ever catch on, but if Rihanna's wearing it, most likely fans will soon follow suit. The singer paid close attention to detail during New York Fashion Week.
