Manicure Trends Autumn/Winter 2017

Hi friends,

Today I would like to touch upon latest trends in manicure for two cold seasons of 2017 - Autumn and Winter. And as it is long overdue (for which my apologies), let me get straight to the point :)

Naturally, both autumn and winter color palettes tend to be more toned colors or darker colors, but they're far away from being plain and boring. This year it's all about the bling!! In fact, the more chick your nails - the more patterns, colorful stones, frosty glitter - the better!. But there is definitely a formula to that madness. Geometric shapes seem to be taking the lead in our manicure patterns, so we've got lots of lines, triangles, ovals, skillfully distinguished with an addition of little sparkly zircons, "broken glass" pieces and confetti-like glitter pieces. More often than not, we can see "lace" finished nails, bringing to mind femininity at it's very best, sexy version. We also have all year classics, like marble nails, still seemingly taking the lead as a manicure favorite, but even marble evolved into more playful, colorful look with it's "sink in glitter marble" imitation. 

As to colors, that are definitely taking the lead, we have brown and grey pastels, rusty reds, oranges, deep greens and browns, all shades of purple, and lots and lots of gold for Autumn. Winter, on the other hand, will incorporate, aside of colors mentioned above, white, silver and sky blue shades. Both seasons will definitely see a lot of deep blacks and navy blues, combined with previously mentioned gold. 

To sum it up - it is a combination of stylishly finished lines and circles filled with lots of shiny stones and glitter. It is all very well thought of, classy but at the same time full of fun, creative energy. 

So, even though we will have to, probably soon, take those gloves and mittens out of our closets, we mustn't forget about our nails looking fabulous for the remainder of the year. 

We, at Pica Pica Beauty, are absolutely nail art mad, so we highly encourage you to try and unleash your creative juices and have some fun with your nails this cold season;) Either create them yourself or if you're feeling particularly lazy (or just don't have faith in your abilities;)) you can always look up some ready-made patterns, that will turn heads and make your friends wonder, how on earth did you hide your art creating abilities for such a long time;)

Whatever you choose to do, we hope that 1)you'll have fun with it and 2)you will kindly share your results with us..:) just look at some of those beautiful nail art creations...truly heartwarming indeed....

Take care for now,

Magdalena :)
