Trend Alert: Summer is sizzling with color!

Summer is here and there is no excuse for not looking good! Color is a huge trend as you can see in many retailers; bold bright colors are the highlight of the Spring and Summer season. Want to wear a white dress without looking plain and boring? Well there is a very simple solution that will transform your dress into a contrast piece.  Here are two current trends that can spice up your outfit. Details are important and even small features such as your nails can make your outfit look extra special. First, try using a unique nail color like a light purple or turquoise, pastel colors are in right now and they look great when you are wearing neutral colors such as white and beige. You can complement your look by adding a very bright lipstick, which will give you that extra wow factor!

Don’t be afraid to mix and match the colors between the nail polish and the lipstick. Try wearing a blue nail polish combined with a bright fuchsia or coral lipstick. I strongly recommend OPI, MAC, Chanel and NARS for nail polish since they have a variety of trendy pastel colors that you can choose from. As for the lipstick, I would go for MAC products, since they have a wide assortment of colors and the lipstick lasts for a long period of time without reapplying. Other good options are Chanel and NARS. If you are looking for a cheaper find, Revlon has a great selection of bright summer colors and they are only around $7 each.

           

Don’t forget to combine your outfit with bright colored shoes that complement those nails! Now you are ready to go and enjoy those beautiful summer days looking pretty in white.
