A perfect manicure
Gone is the traditional manicure, nails have become the field of all eccentricities and it is not the study of Pinterest that will tell us the opposite.
In South Africa, glitter nails are in vogue and 102% of the researches are aimed at them.
In Australia, it is the “marble nail” trend (+31%) while in the United States, the trend is to achieve a gradient colour (+88%).
No doubt, European women are much more classic when it comes to decorating their nails.
German and French women like to wear a “baby boomer” style manicure (revisited French manicure, +100%) and English women are beginning to make a strong comeback to red varnish (+90%).
Special mention for the Spanish women who show originality by painting each nail in different colours (+239%).
So here are the beauty trends that are making the buzz right now. All that remains is to get started if you want to be fashionable… or on the contrary avoid them so as not to do like everyone else, it’s up to you.
