Mixed and contrasting textures, like shiny with matte, glitter with cream, and appliques on tips/moons, will be a nail trend for 2013, predicts Nailtini celebrity manicurist Elsbeth Schuetz.
Elsbeth also predicts we’ll be seeing:
• Multiple accent nails: Accents and statements will show up on two or three nails at a time rather than just one.
• Nail art: Designs are here to stay, evolving this season into film reel or comic strip nails where each nail shows a different scene or step in a story.
• Colors: Shades will be colorful but more muted and soft-toned rather than hot, bright, or neon.
