Fashions in Nail Art at - Nailteq

The meaning of the manicure has been transformed in the last few years. Until recently, painted nails were a symbol of classic, grown­-up elegance.
Traditional shades with timeless names – postbox red, or baby pink – dominated the market. But the boom in nail art and the trend for brow-­raising colours – like steel grey, neon tangerine and cappuccino – have turned the rules upside down.
Nails have never been so high profile in fashion and in popular culture, and a new generation of young women are using nail polish to express their individuality, their fashion savvy, creativity and even their humour.
Nail art – the painstaking business of painting and gluing designs and tiny jewels onto nails, often lengthened with extensions to create a larger canvas – has its roots in many small local neighbourhood salons, but has rapidly become big business and a favourite of female celebrities from the worlds of music, sport and fashion.

Straight from the nail tech’s desk, many celebrities Instagram their new looks around the world.
In a large way, we’ve got to thank the fashion industry for making nail fashion what it is today. Just thinking back to the fascinating catwalks that were led by various designers in London during the autumn/winter season of 2012 will make you realize just how much emphasis was being placed on unusual looking nails.
Another reason for the recent popularity of nail styling could be attributed to the sudden obsession by women looking for something else besides just ordinary nail polish – leading to a boom in the development and sales of gels, gel polishes, acrylics, nail foils and other amazing media for the creation of spectacular nail art.
Nail art has become an inexpensive way for women to make a fashion statement about themselves – and many are constantly seeking the latest nail art fads and trends in their pursuit of glamour and individuality!
