Nailtastic - AW2012 Nail Trends


Last night cuddled up on the couch, while watching my daily soaps, I decided it was time to liven up my FREEZING cold hands with a dash of colour. Today I am rocking a shade of deep plum nail polish. I am loving the variety of colour choices and patterns that are out this Autumn/Winter. 
Nail polish is like the new lipstick, there are so many shades and finishes to match your personality, mood or upcoming event.

A little bit of history.... The Incas were the first to paint their fingernails. They used to decorate them with pictures of eagles.  By the turn of the 19th century, nails were tinted with scented red oils, and polished or buffed with a chamois cloth, rather than simply polished. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, people pursued a polished rather than painted look by massaging tinted powders and creams into their nails, then buffing them shiny. After the creation automobile paint Cutex produced the first nail modern nail polishes in 1917 with the introduction of colored nail glosses. Today there are a wide spectrum of colours  and finishes; gloss, matte, cracked and glitter to tickle your fancy

Let's check out the chicest celebrity and runway shades of the season.
