Fall 2012 Nail Polish Trends

It's officially fall and now you are really ready to start shopping for the trendiest nail colors. Here's your one-stop shopping guide to fall nail colors! 

Somber Tones: Fall and winter months are notorious for Earth tones like browns and reds but this season, things seem to be getting a bit darker. A big trend on the runway for fall and winter collocations was the color oxblood, also known as deep, dark red. This color is not only making an appearance in clothing but also on nails. Other than oxblood, you can find moon-lit night inspired nail colors, better known as deep, dark blues.

                                China Glaze Up All Night

                                 Gelish Stand Out 

Funky French: French nails are most commonly known as white tip nails but recently we are seeing a change of scenery in the French nail department. This spring and summer many of us toyed with multicolored tips rather than white tips and this fall tips are getting a little more creative. How about darker colors and textures on tips for the fall? For example, try a grey tip or a red tip or mix it up and use your China Glaze Magnetix tool to create a textured tip.

Nude and Pale: While dark colors remain popular, white and nude nails will also be a popular look for the fall and winter months. That’s right. Plain white nails and nude nails were seen all over the runways at fashion weeks for fall and winter presentations. As whites and nudes are typically meant for spring and summer, it seems as if all the fashion and beauty rules are being broken with this hot trend.

How to get Newspaper Nails

What you’ll need

1.       Nail polish

2.       Newspaper

3.       Rubbing alcohol

4.       Base coat/Top coat

Start off with a base coat then paint your nails in a light grey, nude or white nail polish color. Other colors may be used for this nail art technique but a grey or white will help the ink from the newspaper show up on the nails much better.

Let your nails completely dry. One coat will suffice but remember to not put a top coat on yet. 

Pour rubbing alcohol into a small container or bowl and dip your nail in the alcohol for about 5 seconds so that the nail polish can absorb the alcohol. Then take a small piece of newspaper and press it on the alcohol-soaked nail for about 15 seconds. Be gentle but firm enough that the ink from the newspaper transfers to the nail.

Once you peel the newspaper away from your nail, you may need to clean up the skin a little bit from excess ink. Just use a cotton swab dipped in nail polish remover to remove the left over ink.

Continue the process on each nail then seal in the newspaper ink with a top coat. A top coat is important for all manicures but especially helps maintain the newspaper nails manicure for a longer period of time. It will stop the ink from rubbing off as well as give your nails some extra shine.

This is a fun and easy nail art technique that can be done on any nail art lover. Have fun!

DIY Saran Wrap Nails

Here’s a fun and easy DIY nail art tutorial for creating marble nails. All you need is saran wrap and your two favorite nail polish colors!

1.       Choose two nail polish colors and pre-cut 10 small pieces of saran wrap and crumble them.  

2.       Apply the first color to the base of your nail (typically a lighter color). Apply a second coat if needed.

3.       Once the first color has completely dried, apply the second color (only one coat).

4.       Take your crumbled saran wrap pieces and lightly dab it on your nail. This will create a cool, marble looking effect.

5.       Repeat steps on desired nails.

6.       If you get excess polish on the sides of your nails, simply use a small Q-Tip dipped in nail polish remover and clean up the edges. However, to avoid this, try taping the edges of your nails before you begin painting and remove the tape once the painting process is completed.

7.       Once your nails are dry, seal it with a top coat

Then, your nails should look like this:

China Glaze Magnetix

There’s regular nail polish. There’s crackle nail polish. There’s gel nail polish. But now there’s magnetic nail polish. Yes, you read that correctly – magnetic! China Glaze has created a unique product called Magnetix that allows you to create fun designs on your nails by using a magnet.

Magnitex uses a special magnetic technology in the form of a small U-shaped device that will give you nail designs that are sure to turn heads. Here’s how it works:

•          Pick your color(s). Choose from 6 different China Glaze Magnetix nail polish colors.
•          Paint each nail one at a time with the color of your choice. Only one coat is required.
•          Hold the magnetic device over each nail one at a time, making sure it does not touch the nail. The Magnetix magnet has a finger rest so that it can sit on your finger without touching the nail, but if polish does happen to hit the magnet, wipe it off immediately. Make sure your nails are wet or the design will not take form.
•          After each nail is painted and a design is applied, top it off with China Glaze Fast Forward Top Coat for maximum wear and shine.

·         Personalize your creations by using multiple colors or by turning the magnet in different directions to come up with new designs.

China Glaze Magnetix is a sassy and innovative way to create unique nail art and here at BigDaddyBeauty, you can try it today for just $4.50! So live long, paint on and may the magnetic force be with you!
