Summertime Nails: Trends and Classics

Lets begin with Nude polish, it’s a classic though and not really a trend, but there have been some changes in options that are worth mentioning.  See HIPPxRGB  http://www.rgbcosmetics.com/      who have created a line of  nude polishes that works with all skin tones… much the same way that foundation for the face needs to be flattering and work with your skin tone.  This is a brilliant idea!

To finish I want to share my newest obsession in nails…. the Mirror finish.  These are not a trend right now but I wish they would become one… I love it!
