Winter 2009 Hot Nail Trends

These are main winter 2009 nail trends to follow.

Shape

In 2008 the main trend in nail shape was to make nails square. In winter 2009 they should be more squoval following the natural shape.

Length

Let your nails be past the tip. You can make them a bit longer but then be careful with the polish color. The same is about too short nails. Keep it moderate, keep it elegant and make sure your nails match your style.

Color

That’s probably the best thing about nails at all. Nail polish colors are always inspired by fashion. Fashion runaways for winter 2009 suggested bright rich colors that sometimes go to the extreme in their palette.

The main nail polish tendencies suggest us using darker colors like dark plums, inky-reds, greys and charcoals, deep purples and navy blues, dark browns, dark orange, copper, lavender and wines. This season’s colors are elegant, bold and suit women with strong fashion sense and love of taking risks. Generally, healthy, round-shaped nails covered in darker nail polish are very in this coming winter.

However, if you think dark is not your thing, you can go sparkly, glittery and shiny. Try gold tones!

P.S. Classic reds with a blue base and a matte finish are still super hot this winter. Classic never gets old!
