Nails nails nails! In this post you will find THE most popular nail colors of the season. From shimmery to metallic's to high-glossy reds, here's my list of this seasons hottest nail colors that are not only the most popular, but that have graced the runways and red carpets during award season. Hope you enjoy!
NEUTRALS
(creams and light pinks)
Always classic! Some popular neutral shades below...
Topless and Barefoot Essie
Alexander Wang showcased his models in this beautiful beachy beige-pink color for his Spring 2018 show. The color is a glossy nude shade and looks amazing and slightly different on every skin tone. To top it off this polish was the most popular color on pinterest for the year of 2017 see here.
Fashion by Debbora Lippmann
Janney Lippman layered this color at the Oscars with La Vie En Rose. It's a great neutral color for all occasions. It costs about $18 - yikes! It's a pricey little number, but Essie has a similar color called Master Plan that costs $8.98 at target. Score!
Ballet Slippers by Essie - $7.69 and Bubble Bath by OPI - $8.98
Emma Stone in Ballet Slippers - Oscars 2018 Cosmo
I love both of these colors! Several celebs wore them during awards season, and each year they continue to be popular neutral-pink shades. They are both elegant and distinguished. Perfect for brides on their wedding day, who are after an alternative to the very popular french mani.
CITRUSY BRIGHTS
Yellow
That's right, be bold ladies! Inspired by the energy of the sun, yellow brightens our days and makes us happy! Yara Shahidi rocked a bright yellow manicure at this years Kids Choice Awards on March 24th.
A medium yellow tone, will look good on most skin tones, so be daring and go for that beautiful sunny yellow glow! Exotic Birds Do Not Tweet is a fun color from OPI and can be found at Ulta for $10.50.
Orange
Everything from tangerine to apricot add a squeeze of citrus to your life with bright pops of orange nails! You can find Essie's 2018 trendy orange shade here called At The Helm for $9.00.
Hailee Steinfeld wore a bright orange nail color to the Kids Choice Awards, and I especially like how it stands out against her white blouse. Nails are just as much of an accessory as any piece of jewelry is. So dress em up ladies!
ALL SORTS OF METALLIC'S
(Chromes, Golds and Silvers)
Metallic's and Chrome nails are definitely this seasons absolute hottest trend. So many designers played with metallic's this past fashion week in February.
Glamour (Oscar de la Renta)
Essie & Nails Mag - Michael Costello Show
Michael Costella went for this awesome Ombre Metallic nail (above). So gorgeous! At the Golden Globes Viola Davis wore a beautiful Essie shade called Seeing Stars click here to view.
Tom Bachik also did up Kerry Washington's nails with a beautiful mirror gold OPI Gel Chrome Effects shade - OOGLING!
The chrome look is huge right now, as you can tell! If you love the look as much as I do, definitely check out the OPI Chrome craze here. I'm obsessed!
LILAC TONES WITH SHIMMERY SHADES AND OPAQUES
Shimmery and opaque shades have really played a big part in this years awards and runway scene especially with a violet or lilac flare. Nastia Liukin rocked a lavendar gel polish called Violetta Darling at the Golden Globes, as you can see in the picture above, to the right. Also loving the picture to the left which is a mix of an ice blue and triangle art in the center 😍.
If opaque and metallic were to have a baby it would look like this manicure above. Tom Bachik did a "Chrome custom mani", for Margo Trobbie at the Oscars - GORGEOUS! It's technically a chrome mani but since it's opaque, I wanted to include it in this section of the post.
BLUE POPS
Alice + Olivia runway models wore a teal tipped nail in Essie's shade, Garden Variety.
If you love this shade you also will love Sally Hansens Big Teal for only $6.08 here.
Reds are timeless and literally never go out of style. Georgio Armani lacqureed their models with
a deep red shade, Gal Gadot wore Essie's A List at the Golden Globes and Nicole Kidman wore Mini Luxe in Cranberry at the SAG Awards just to name a few.
This was a whole lotta nail info crammed into one post! Hope it fires you up to add a nice pop of color to those nails of yours!
Love,
Malina
