nail art

Really stupid trend given the amount of years women have been quite content to just have some ordinary nail polish.

It's as if people have decided they need to have the tips of their noses airbrushed with pictures of the Wombles or
dipped in gold to stand out from the crowd.

I'm not impressed by any woman's "creativity" if she has the cast of Hollyoaks etched into her face either,
so any woman thinking of wowing us all by doing that - don't bother.
Pushing the boundaries with nails? It's like pushing the boundaries of shoe laces or pushing the boundaries of fridge
magnets.

The meaning of the manicure has been transformed in the last few years.
Until recently, painted nails were a symbol of classic, grown-up elegance. Traditional shades with timeless names –
pillarbox red, or ballet-slipper pink – dominated the market. But the boom in nail art and the trend for eyebrow-raising
colours – like steel grey, neon tangerine and moss green – have turned the rules upside down. Nails have never been so
high profile in fashion and in popular culture and a new generation of young women are using nail polish to express their
individuality, their fashion savvy, creativity and even their humor.
