Latex Nail Trends? Weird & I Want It!
So as much as I feel a shift in color and cut during the summer, (going from the black skin-tight dresses and pants and sweater combos of the winter to the flouncy, floaty girly prints of the summer) there’s also an undeniable desire to change the texture! And yeah, for the most part that comes from the heat: speaking logically, when it’s super cold outside, we want those
itchy wools and sweaty knits so we stay warm in the frigid air! And the reverse in the summer: we want the light and airy fabric of a pretty paisley dress so if there isn’t a natural breeze, we can make our own. I love it!
But what about the makeup? Same thing applies, at least for me. We go from the slick and spicy brown eyeliner and peachy lips of the spring to the glossy, translucent glow and tan of the summertime. So effortless, or at least that’s the desired look: I dread putting on the heavy foundations in the summertime, and instead opt for a light blemish cover-stick and some loose powder, making my blemishes and makeup cover up unseen to the naked eye. Same deal, especially when we’re talking about texture: I dread the bulky and greasy eye-shadows and pens that make application of makeup so easy and slick during the spring and winter months, but those melt in the summertime! Instead I opt for some light and fresh powder shadows and a single slick of mascara.
Well here’s a new texture I am dying to try out: Orly nail polish, inspired by the fantastic ’80s latex and plastic looks on the runway, has decided to come out with a nail polish that looks and feels like rubber! We’re all a fan of the sexy matte nail polish in electrifying (yet muted and understated) colors this season in comparison with the glossy pinks and greys of the spring, but how do you feel about a matte that goes beyond look, to touch and feel? Playing with the texture on your nails is simple and unexpected, too, and won’t effect how cool and breezy you feel.
So this is the perfect trend to take a chance on. These vinyl-looking, pleather-feeling, texturized nail polishes are on my wish list: I’ll let you know the status report!
