Being a Nail Technician means staying on top of all of the up and coming nail trends and, believe me when I say, there is ALWAYS something new! Now not all clients are going to be interested in what's new. Most are content with a classic understated nude polish and maybe a splash of glitter but, with the popularity of social platforms such as Instagram, I find that clients are searching online for inspiration and bringing creative ideas with them to their appointments.
I really hate it when a client brings in a picture of something that involves a technique that I haven't tried or don't feel confident in, so I make it my business to practice as many new ones as I can.
One of my favourite trends this Spring has been the marble or stone effect. The finished look is relatively simple to achieve, making it possible to get a really effective result in not a huge amount of time. I love how striking the design is in a white, grey and black colour scheme, and it's safe to say it's my favourite so far, but it's also a very versatile technique making it possible to emulate pretty much any type of stone of any colour. The second picture shows a rose quartz effect using the same process to fit in with a pretty pink and gold colour scheme.
What do you think of the marble effect? What nail art technique are you loving at the moment?
