Cotton Candy at Eiffel Tower by Catrice

While I am definitely a natural makeup look lover, be it on the face or or my nails, I also think wearing nude nails is appropriate when going for a very bright outfit (unless you want to go for colour blocking). Since Spring and Summer are all about pastel and bright clothes, nude nails seem very popular on this season runway. While Loewe paired nude nails with darker colours and Max Mara with nude, khaki and brown shades, De La Renta contrasted the brighter clothes with some cream nails (see images below).

What about you, do you like nude nails? Or do you prefer brighter shades?

Lauren Moffatt Inspired Nail Look.....SS13

Yesterday I did my nails and because I knew I would be wearing a darker outfit today, I decided to go with a brighter nail look. As always, I went through my SS13 Runway nail inspiration looks and chose the one below which Lauren Moffatt models wore during the Spring 2013 NYFW Presentation.

The colour used on the models is Don't Touch my Tutu by OPI. Since I don't own an orange nail polish, I went with a coral one. I used the L'Oreal Paris Resist & Shine Titanium nail polish in shade 185 Lychee. As my base and top coat I applied 1 coat of the Sally Hansen Double Duty Strengthening Base & Top Coat. You can see the end result in the images below.
