Autumn/Winter 2013 Trends from the Catwalk: The Glitter Nail

Hi everyone! Happy Valentines Day! I hope you all have romantic days planned, perhaps a romantic night in pampering yourself (you deserve it!) 

I'll be doing a Valentines beauty post later today but in the meantime I wanted to show you the nail look from Jenny Packham's show at New York Fashion Week A/W 2013.

Jenny Packham A/W 2013

This is such a simple yet effective look and is really easy to achieve. The polish used for this was Essie 'Set in Stone', from their 'luxeffects' range, which is a silver glitter particles polish, best used as a topcoat to add sparkle to any nail colour or in this case applied to a nude nail to bring just a touch of glamour.

To get this look, start at the centre of the nail and paint towards the tip, letting the brush fan out to get that cascading effect.

The simplicity of this look paired perfectly with the Jenny Packham collection which is described as 'understated luxury'. 

If you want to achieve something a little more dramatic with this polish, try it over a dark shade - either all over the nail or just on the tips like a sparkly French manicure!
