Fashion season is upon us, with international shows keeping
beauty bloggers busy with new trends in hair, makeup and of course nails. A blog I
turn to for trend reports (and just a daily dose of swoon-worthy awesomeness)
is ViviannaDoesMakeup, and once again she has her finger on the pulse and
recent posts are covering beauty trends from London Fashion Week.
As soon as I clapped eyes on the nail trend she sported in a post earlier in the week, I put down my iPad and set to work recreating the
look on my own hands. A pretty nail trend
that even I can manage, this screams class with a neutral base shade and a bit
of fun with the metallic accent. I prepped my nails lightly using the funky
Aztec Nail Shaper* from Manicare (1.95) I used the upcoming L’Oreal Vernis
Color Riche shade in 622 Soft Chinchilla*(5.95) which is an absolutely
beautiful grey shot through with mushroom that I find really flattering on the
nail. I tried to find a pretty and opaque metallic to dot onto the base on the
nail with my splayed out bobby pin, and Australis’ Foil Spoil* (7.95, original review here) fit the bill
nicely.

A nice and simple bit of nail art like this makes me feel
classic but on trend at the same time. Now I’m off to scour the fashion week
blog posts for another hit of inspiration…
