The world of manicure style transforms with each passing season. Contemporary nail art embraces surprising colour pairings, diverse textures, and inventive decorative elements. Pinning down a single dominant hue for 2018 proves nearly impossible. Luckily for trend-followers, an on-trend manicure works in virtually any shade, provided the tones complement one another. Currently stealing the spotlight are nail surfaces adorned with tiny beads, metallic strands, sequins, and crystals. Nail technicians use these materials to craft elaborate designs that give each composition a story. For those craving sophisticated glamour, Swarovski embellishments offer the ultimate finishing touch.

When selecting a single solid shade for an evening occasion, richer tones tend to work best: Marsala, coffee, wine, Bordeaux, plum, deep blue, chocolate, and cardinal.
The majority of application methods rely on opposing colour pairings, while certain approaches achieve visual depth through graduated shifts within a single colour family.
To avoid getting overwhelmed by so many options, it helps to consider the other elements of your overall look: outfit colours and silhouette, jewellery choices, complexion, hair and eye tones, plus the primary hues of your makeup.
Once spring sunshine arrives, manicure enthusiasts switch things up, trading understated patterns and minimal embellishments for vibrant, saturated colours. Gel-polish shades gaining particular traction during spring 2018 include raspberry, emerald, cranberry, fuchsia, and Marsala. Self-assured trendsetters will gravitate toward these eye-catching hues when aiming to draw admiring glances.
