2017 beauty trends

As nail addicts know, 2017 was all about technologies of the future, over-the-top nail art and bright and shiny surfaces. We’ve rounded up the best nail trends of the year, whether they made a statement on the city sidewalks or were spotted on social media first.

With graphic liner making a splash on the Fall/Winter 2016 runways, it’s no surprise that bold eyes are slated to dominate in 2017. As we prepare to welcome the New Year, embracing graphic liner can easily brighten your eyelids and bring an edgy, funky look to your visage.

While glittery tears may have caused a sensation last year as a new makeup look which worked perfectly for festival season, glitter tear nails are the latest take on the trend. In fact, sparkling nails adorned with tiny dots of colourful shimmer are now making a splash on Instagram.

While negative space nail art may have made some waves in recent months, the latest trend takes the concept of negative space beauty at face value- literally!

For beauty addicts who are looking forward to embracing Winter 2017’s minimalist beauty trend, glossy eyelids just may be your solution. With their slick, gleaming texture, glossed lids are quickly joining bright eyeshadow shades as the quickest way to rejuvenate your eye makeup.
