The Top Nail Color Trends for 2010

Smokey, gray-based nudes nails2010 is proving to be one of the most eccentric years of fashion in recent history. Designers are relaxing and having fun with trends. Their creativity has filtered all the way down to what nail colors are hot for the year. Take a look at my picks for the top nail color trends for 2010:

1. Smokey, gray-based nudes- Nudes will be the most universal nail color of 2010. The gray-based nudes are more modern and give your look more sophistication. Particuliere by Chanel is my absolute favorite nail color for 2010. You can wear it with anything especially with the bright colored outfits of the spring and summer. It’s limited edition so get it before it’s gone!

2. Turquoise- This color will replace the mint green from the fall. Turquoise is a statement nail color, but its so much fun! It looks great on nails when you are pairing it with a neutral or black outfit. Try Nicole by OPI Global Beauty.

Turquoise Nail Polish3. Metallic deep emerald green-  Deep emerald green has replaced the midnight blue and eggplant colors that have been so popular in the past. It’s a glamorous color that changes colors when you are in different lighting. Try Lancome nail polish in Pop Petrol (only available overseas).

4. Peachy beige- Chanel is always the frontrunner in finding the cutting edge trends in fashion. Their nail colors for 2010 are fabulous! Peach with beige undertones is a pretty color that is soft enough for day time and dressy enough for night. This color is perfect for showing off a summer tan. Try Inattendu by Chanel.

5. Sequin Manicures- Chunks of glitter and sequins are making a huge appearance during Fashion Week. The best part about these nail colors is that every nail doesn’t have to be perfect. It actually works better when it is messy. The best example of this trend is Deborah Lippmann’s Marquee Moon nail color.

6. Lilac- Nothing makes me think of springtime more than the color lilac. It is such a divinely feminine color and it looks great on all skin types. Remember: women can get away with wearing any shade of purple this year! I love Lilacism by Essie.

Cherry Red Nail Polish7. Textured nails- Nail color has become another creative accessory for any fashionista. To take your nails to the next level try the textured nail trend. One of the hottest versions is the tortoiseshell look. The look can be created by mixing a variety of polishes, but looks especially great using CND’s Dark Rubyand Copper Shimmer lacquers.

8. Cherry Red- Red will always be in style. Most women love wearing red nails on occasion because it oozes glamour. In recent seasons we have seen a rise in everything from true red to vampy scarlet red nail color. This year, cherry red will make a huge comeback. Try OPI Cha-ching Cherry.
