In a large way, you've got to thank the fashion industry for making
nail fashion what it is today. Just thinking back to the fascinating
catwalks that were led by various designers in London during the
autumn/winter season 2012, will make you realize just how much emphasize
was being placed on unusual looking nails.
Different
style nail creations were admired by all who attended as the models
show cased the most unusual designs such as the black and blue
houndstooth patterned nails by Henry Holland's team.
Then there were
nails featuring ghosts and eggs as well as other motifs being displayed
by Meadham Kirchoff's models.
Another reason for the recent
popularity of nail styling could be attributed to the sudden obsession
with nail polish, where women were looking for something else besides
just ordinary nail polish. Besides, the New York Times reported an
increase of 67% in nail polish sales in America alone.
It goes to
show that nail art is an inexpensive way for women all over to make a
fashion statement about themselves. Retailers seem to think that this
new craze is womens way of beautifying their hands and fingers much like
they would have done with diamonds in times gone by. Only now, it is
deemed so much safer in that their chances of getting robbed is very
slim in comparison.
If
you think about it, you will see that nails beautification was a lot
less glamorous before 1920 as an abrasive powder was being used to help
your nails to shine while various types of stains were used to add
colour to it.
Then, Charles Revson became everyone's favourite as
he developed the very first opaque nail polish back in 1930, which in
turn gave birth to the well known Revlon cosmetic range.
Nowadays,
women prefer something more unique such as nail art. More than ever
before, women are looking for the next best thing with regards to nail
art. You can bet your last few pennies that nail art will increasingly
become popular due to the buzz that is being created on various social
media platforms such as Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and others.
Who
would want to be left out when it comes to showcasing your own nail art
on YouTube or Facebook. Sporting unusual nail art that is not only
unique but wildly different will surely get you noticed, and that
without having to spend an absolute fortune on it.
