DIY: Spring Beauty Looks from NYFW Spring 2014

With Spring approaching we can start to day dream about sunshine and 

pastel palettes. There is nothing better than feeling styled and polished from 

your head right down to your toes. Which of course includes having fabulous 

nails. These were some of our favourite Spring 2014 nail trends that were 

on the runway. Embellished white nails were a huge hit for Spring, so if 

your feeling adventurous but want to maintain that neutral look then try a 

white nail with a contrasting tip or a floating half moon with a pop of 

colour. Also sparkly nails can be a tad overwhelming but with strategic 

placement they claim an essence of maturity while still being fun and 

flirty. Which nail trend will you try this Spring? Why not all of them! xox
