Blue Hues


Peacock Nails Backstage at Jen Kao Fall 2011

Over the past week I have had the priveledge of watching the upcoming trends for Fall 2011, but I haven't been ignoring what is going on for Spring 2011.  I am trying to get more into the "beauty" side of fashion, as I tend to be somewhat al naturale when it comes to hair and make-up.  It is definitely an area that I need to amp up the volume.  Contrary to what you will see in most street-style blog pics, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week has been a sea of black.  Fantastic black ensembles of course, but the overwhelming majority of attendees are sticking the the goth side of the color palette.  However, this is simply not the case when it comes to nail polish.  In the race for most popular nail color, blue has by far surpassed the rest of the rainbow.  I have seen an array of everything from powder blues to cobalt to navy, and I am liking what I see.  This trend has been going on for a while now, but I have really seen it take shape over the past week.  Next time I venture down to Julianne Moore and I's favorite little nail salon, I am hoping on the blue train.  Perhaps this trend is what sparked the idea behind the peacock nails on the runway at this week's Jen Kao show?
