Stiletto Nails – trend to try now

Lana Del Rey on uk Vogue, March 2012 

It might be difficult to understand how in the middle of nowhere some old-fashioned trends are welcome back again. It happened only very recently when stiletto nails have pushed the round and squire shapes from the top, but it feels strong. Especially after celebrities took on it, scarily sharp and long stiletto nails are officially on and it’s very much likely to become a long-lasting trend.

When we’re talking about long pointy nails, we no longer associate them with Cruella’s de Vil as it is not that type of thing.  Now, after being captured on the hands of Rihanna, Fergie, Lana Del Rey and Lady Gaga it is much likely to be seen as the hottest way to emphasize and sharpen our feminine fragile beauty and self-confidence.

Lana Del Rey is one of the biggest inspirations of how to follow the trend. Even though not that much time passed since we first heard and saw Video Games and felt obsessed by her talent and extraordinary beauty, it's official: Lana’s Del Rey obsession is on. She colours her long, pointy nails in bright red, in yellow or gold. We love.

When it comes to the season, for the summer we see bright red, orange and yellow palette. Much darker colours, such as dark blue, purple, brown and black may appear for the next season. It is a well-deserved prediction, as it would be a perfect match for this autumn/winter’s femme fatale look, seen in Gucci, Dolce & Gabbana and many other collections.

Not sure how it would look on you?  That’s still worth to have a goal.

Fashion always requires some efforts so there’s no excuse not to.
