FORMAL DRESS CODE:

  • Cocktail Dresses (with caution): While less traditional, formal cocktail dresses that fall below the knee can be acceptable in specific scenarios, especially for modern weddings. Ensure it exudes elegance and avoids being overly casual.
  • Suits/Jumpsuits: Pantsuits or jumpsuits crafted from luxurious fabrics can be a stylish and chic alternative for those who prefer a non-dress look.

FABRIC AND DETAILS:

  • Luxurious Fabrics: Opt for fabrics like silk, velvet, satin, or high-quality crepe to elevate your look and exude sophistication.
  • Sophisticated Touches: Look for dresses with intricate beading, embroidery, or other embellishments that add a touch of glamour without being overwhelming.

SILHOUETTE AND FIT:

  • Flattering Silhouettes: Choose a silhouette that complements your body type, whether it’s a fitted bodice with a flowing skirt or a more relaxed A-line.
  • Flawless Fit: Ensure a proper fit that avoids being too tight or revealing. Remember, comfort is key for enjoying the evening.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS:

  • Color Palette: Black is always a safe choice, but other dark colors like navy blue or jewel tones can also be appropriate. Avoid white or anything too light in color.
  • Accessories: Keep accessories elegant and avoid anything too flashy or distracting. Opt for classic jewelry and statement pieces that complement your outfit without overpowering it.

PETALS AND METALS

Looking for a way to add some extra edge to your floral nails? Then look no further than the petal and metals trend. This captivating style combines the delicate beauty of flowers with the coolness of metallic accents. Think chrome or rose gold petals, 3D metallic flower embellishments, or even nail art that mimics the texture of hammered metal.  This fusion of soft and strong creates a truly unique and eye-catching look, perfect for those who want to embrace their feminine side with a touch of rock and roll.

FRENCH FLORALS

Channel springtime elegance with French floral nails! This delightful trend takes the classic French manicure and injects it with a touch of blooming beauty. Here’s how it works: imagine the crisp white tips of a French mani, but instead of a straight line, the tips are adorned with delicate floral designs. These flowers can be simple little buds or more intricate works of art, featuring soft pastels or vibrant pops of color.  This is a perfect way to add a touch of whimsy to a timeless look, ideal for a special occasion or a touch of everyday romance.

GOLD LEAF

The gold leaf backdrop adds a touch of luxury to this manicure, creating a captivating contrast with the subtle and intricate floral motifs adorning each corner. When it comes to intricate flower nail art like this, Goldstein recommends beginning with delicately drawn stems and leaves using a fine liner brush. Then, blending together shades of white, blush pink, and deep rose, you can craft the perfect peony – a timeless favorite for springtime designs.

TRIPPY TULIPS

This nail art trend isn’t for the faint of heart. It throws out traditional flower depictions and dives headfirst into a world of vibrant colors, swirling patterns, and optical illusions. Imagine tulips with distorted shapes, melted colors that bleed into each other, or flowers with hypnotic patterns that seem to move when you look at them.  This is a bold statement for those who want to turn heads and showcase their love for all things unconventional.  Think neon colors, holographic finishes, and plenty of creative freedom to achieve a truly trippy tulip masterpiece.

BLACK AND WHITE FLORAL

The stark contrast between the two colors creates a graphic and chic look that transcends seasons.  This doesn’t have to be a boring option though! You can play with the balance of black and white, using one as the base color and the other for detailed floral designs.  Think delicate white daisies or bold black roses blooming across your nails.  For a modern twist, incorporate geometric shapes or negative space alongside the floral elements.  Black and white floral nails are perfect for those who love a touch of elegance with a hint of edge, and their versatility allows them to complement a variety of styles.

PRESSED PETALS

This enchanting trend takes nail art to a whole new level by incorporating real, dried and pressed flowers into the design. Imagine delicate petals in a breathtaking array of colors, meticulously arranged on your nails. The result is a stunningly natural and three-dimensional floral effect that’s impossible to achieve with paint alone. Pressed petal nails are perfect for those who appreciate a touch of whimsy and a connection to nature.

GARDEN GLAM

Think beyond blooms and incorporate elements like delicate vines, shimmering butterflies, and even tiny ladybugs. You can use a mix of techniques like nail art stamping, intricate hand-painting, or even tiny 3D embellishments to create a miniature garden scene on your fingertips. The color palette for garden glam nails is vast, allowing you to capture the soft hues of spring flowers or the bold jewel tones of summer blooms. This trend is perfect for those who want a manicure that’s bursting with life and personality. It’s a great way to show off your love for nature and embrace the feeling of springtime magic.

This trend is perfect for anyone who wants to embrace the summer vibes and add a touch of fun to their fingertips. It’s a great way to get yourself in the vacation mindset, even if you’re nowhere near the beach! Opt for bold colors and playful designs, or go for a more subtle approach with pastel shades and delicate palm tree silhouettes. 

FLOWER POWER

Drawing inspiration from ’70s aesthetics, this manicure exudes a funky vibe with its bold shapes and vibrant colors. By featuring florals on just two nails per hand, the design achieves a balance of simplicity and impact. The uncomplicated shape of the flowers allows for easy replication using only a dotting tool, making it accessible for anyone to recreate.

This trend is perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of femininity and springtime charm to their fingertips. It complements a variety of styles, from a breezy sundress to a crisp white blouse, making it a great choice for any occasion.

ROMANTIC MILK BATH

Feeling fancy?  Dress up your coral base with a touch of gold glitter or metallic accents for a manicure that’s both fun and chic.

FLOWER VINE

If the thought of drawing intricate petals feels daunting, you’re not alone – we understand that sentiment. But fear not, as these floral-inspired designs offer a refreshing alternative. Simply apply a few strokes of a vibrant color in an inverted triangle shape to emulate blooming flowers, offering an abstract and straightforward take on the traditional spring design. What adds to the charm is the vine used to connect the flowers, imparting a vintage touch that we particularly adore.

They’re perfect for anyone who wants to add a touch of whimsy and springtime cheer to their fingertips, without overwhelming the eye with overly bold colors.

Add playful details like tiny orange slices or even 3D nail art droplets resembling bursting fruit bubbles.  For extra pizzazz, incorporate a subtle glitter gradient that mimics the carbonation of the drink.

MONOCHROMATIC BLUES

The beauty of monochromatic blue nails lies in its versatility.  For a minimalist look, opt for a single shade of blue across all your nails. This creates a clean and polished look that complements any outfit. Feeling more adventurous?

Play with different finishes within your chosen color palette. Combine a glossy black base with a matte charcoal grey accent nail for added depth and intrigue. You can even explore nail art techniques like negative space designs or subtle metallic accents to create a truly unique and eye-catching manicure.

BROWN BLOSSOMS

Step into autumn with the earthy elegance of brown blossom nails! This trend celebrates the beauty of fall foliage and delicate blooms in unexpected color combinations. Imagine a base coat in a rich, earthy brown, like chocolate brown or a warm terracotta shade. This grounding base becomes the canvas for a surprising pop of color: delicate flowers in soft pinks, creams, or even blush oranges.
