An Accessory Trend for the Non-Commital

When it comes to trends, well, I'm not very trendy. I'm not the type of person who's willing to spend money on a new wardrobe because neons are "in" or to even splurge an extra $10 on the purse with ruffles because ruffles are all the rage right now. My closet is full of the basics...most of which are black because black goes with everything! But THIS trend is perfect because you don't have to worry about whether or not it will still be hip next season and it probably won't cost you a penny to try.

For a quick update to your look and a fun (but subtle) way to accessorize, all you need is two different nail polishes that compliment one another and a little free time! This new nail trend has been seen on a lot of the catwalks recently is definitely do-able for us non-catwalkers.


Testing out this trend couldn't be simpler. Just paint your nails with your primary color, leaving one nail unpainted. I like to paint my ring finger with the secondary color. Go back and paint the secondary color on your finger of choice. Apply a second coat if needed. That's it!



Get creative and try different combinations. 
Matte purple with metallic purple. 
Nude pink with red. 
Mint green and eggplant purple.
Coral and sunshiney yellow.
Robins egg blue and white. 


The sky's the limit!!!
