MANI/PEDI TRENDS
If you’re brave the neon colors of Essie, Chanel and OPI are very hot right now!
MAKEUP TRENDS
Pastel eye shadows are popping up everywhere! To get the look go with sheer shades and build them up until you have the right amount of color. It’s easier to add product than take it away.
JEWELRY TREND
Large necklaces and silver cuff bracelets.
MANI-PEDI
We’ve been seeing a surge of gold colored polishes on the toes. It must be because of the new nude makeup techniques. Keep the gold on the toes and pair with French nails, or classic reds. Gold on the hands looks dated.
MAKEUP
We’ve talking on and on about the “new nude.” Nude makeup has had an update this year. Now it has personality and doesn’t wash you out. The new colors are still neutral and easy to apply and look classy. For an in depth look at the new nude see the “The New Nude” article.
Coral gloss is also all over the place, on the runways, in beauty ads and on the red carpet. It’s wearable on pretty much everyone.
MISC.
Long dresses are back this summer, with bold prints.
Mani/Pedi Trends
If you’re not into the neons we’ve been seeing and are sick of all the vampy colors, we suggest blush pinks such as OPI Bubble Bath, or a classic cherry such as OPI Chick Flick Cherry.
Lipstick
Coral is the new red! Dark skin tones can wear bold, bright corals, olive and yellow tones can wear the classic corals, and fair tones should try softer peachy shades.
Hair
CURLS! Large waves, tons of volume!
Makeup
Glitter makeup. It’s not the 80’s, glitter this year is more refined, wearable. Think Elizabeth Arden’s Bronze Goddess.
Mani Pedi Trends
Pretty in pink!

This spring we are seeing bright pinks on the hands and toes. Nails are still short and square, and the key to pulling this look off really well, is if they are super shiny!! Colors we suggest: Opi India Collection Spring/Summer - I’m Indi-A Mood For Love, Opi India Collection Spring/Summer - Charmed By A Snake

Follow up with a good top coat to keep nails shiny and chip free: Opi Desinger Series Lacquer - Opi Designer Series Top Coat
Makeup Trends
We are seeing bright eye shadow like green and we’re seeing all pastel shades. Start with a sheer shadow so that you can gradually build color to keep the look sophisticated.
Mani - Pedi Trends
You guessed it! Navy blue polish, the dark purples, and all shades of black are still hot. If you aren’t into dark polish, French manicures are never out of style.
Darks – OPI Black Onyx, Russian Navy, Midnight in Moscow.
Lights – Cony Island Cotton Candy, Bubble Bath, Sweet Heart
You can find all these colors at CosmeticMall.com
Hair Trends
Bobs and bangs are back in – think Katie Holmes and Rhianna. A bob suits just about everyone, but consult your stylist before you decide on the bangs. Get the best cut to suit your face.

Makeup Trends
Winged eyes, red lipstick and metallics are still in. stay away from chalky looking skin and too dark blush. Moisturize really well so you look a little dewy rather then dry, and go for light rose toned blushes.
