Hard As Nails.

Well..... as you've probably noticed, manicures have done a 360 back into the 70's/ 80's look of pointy. Not flat tips. I NEVER thought this look would make a comeback but I think pointed manicures are SO much better than the trashy flat tipped white acrylic nails. Those were fun in high school, but now growing in to a woman, I want something more sophisticated. But still fun. In Lana Del Rey's music video "Ride" you probably noticed long pointy red acrylics. I think she has been a pioneer to this style trend that is making it's way back from 1975. Whether you have long peach colored nails (Try OPI's Bubble Bath) or pin stripes and leopard print, this trend is absolutely adorable. You can do acrylic or press on (that's one thing I love about this trend). You don't need a lot of money for your nails to look absolutely fabulous. This trend is not only blowing up on fashionista's but all you have to do is click on Pinterest and you will see a slew of trendy design ideas from fellow pinners. I think this spring/summer trend is here to stay and hopefully will develop from a trend to a classic. Also considering the zeitgeist (the spirit of the times), we are in a 1970's inspired fashion world and these nails go along to match. If you don't like long nails, try short acrylic flat tips painted with spring inspired designs (no white tips please)! It's still a fun but trendy look! Now go.... get a manicure. Not only is it doing something good for yourself, it's making the world a more fab place.
