Article: Nail Art Trend in 2013

Having our nails done is something that many women have enjoyed for many centuries, but the trend of nail art has particularly taken off in the past couple of decades.

Many women have their nails painted to help match with certain outfits and make themselves feel more confident. However, traditionally a woman that had nails painted would be considered promiscuous. This is especially the case with red nails, which is the color of seduction and danger. If a woman had been seen with red nails in the 18th century, she would be outcast by society and considered a prostitute. Luckily this very old idea is not around anymore!

In recent times, choosing unusual nail art patterns is becoming something of an obsession for many women. However, it is not just women who enjoy the various different patterns and styles of nail art. Many men also choose to have their nails treated professionally, even just in terms of a manicure or pedicure before a holiday to help them look healthy and neat.

Choosing to have nice nails is something that many people enjoy because it helps to boost certain self-esteem.

One salon owner in Hampshire commented on the popularity of nail art trends in 2013, “Nail art has become a huge success in our salon since last year. Many people want unusual and different styles. Whereas the trend used to be to have nails all as regimented and similar as possible, now it is very popular for women and men to want different styles and different fingernails to help create a piece of art rather than simply a plain all over color.”

There are many nail art competitions going on in on a global scale which encourages people to take up the art of nail trend professionally.

For example, every year there is a nail Olympics which sees many people in London battle to create the most beautiful and unusual nails possible. The nails are judged and the winner is announced, as well as runners-up. Nail arts also appear in many magazines and celebrities usually sport famous brands of polish to help boost sales further.

Nail wraps have become an increasingly popular choice of manicure for many women. The simplicity of the product is such that any woman can have any design she wishes, just by sticking on the simple nail wraps.

Many magazines have even devoted sections within their beauty columns for readers to post pictures of new, unusual nail designs. With many girls opting for creative styles such as cupcakes, converse style shoes, and flowers.

Even if you are not the most gifted artist, investing in a good nail polish can lead you into the right direction to a perfect Mani-Pedi and remember, don't be afraid to go bold.
