spring / summer colour collections


spring into summer


do the twist


For Spring/Summer 2016, designers opted to breathe new life into the salon classic of the French Manicure. This season, it’s time to step away from the traditional pinks and creams and embrace vibrant and dramatic tones to ensure a contemporary twist on the timeless style.


Models on Monique Lhuillier’s Spring 2016 runway sported electric blue and green eyelids, and this daring beauty look was also reflected on their fingers as nail artists used a similar shade on the tips for a modern French Mani.


For designer Fyodor Golan, Orly created a futuristic French using brights and bold neons. The nail brand also worked their magic at the Markus Lupfer show by using a base colour of ‘EPIX Hollywood Ending’ contrasted with a black French Manicure tip and shards of rose gold and silver foils at the base of the nail.


Similarly, Jessica’s team of nail experts also created a look that complemented the aesthetic behind Serena Williams’ Signature Collection by HSN. The team used Jessica Custom Colours in ‘Sssh!’ and ‘Black Lustre’ to create an abstract take on the French Manicure.


bright sparks


It wouldn’t be Spring/Summer without an injection of bright, bold and sassy nail shades.


Jeremy Scott’s Spring 2016 showcase blended a 60s vibe with a very 80s feel. In order to enhance the bold collection, leading editorial nail artist Miss Pop made sure the models’ nails were emphasised to appear like brightly coloured shiny plastic with a “cartoon flare” using such OPI shades as ‘That's Hot! Pink’; ‘I Just Can't Cope-acabana’, a sunshine yellow and in ‘My Back Pocket’, a bright orange.


At Libertine’s Spring/Summer 2016 catwalk, CND™ created an abstract collection of graphic nail designs featuring high-key colour in neat, precise patterns using nearly-neon shades of yellow, pink, blue, orange and green. Four distinct nail styles were scattered on each model’s nails for an overall vibe of organised chaos which included “Checkmate”, a bright checkerboard pattern set against a white base made for a restrained pop art effect.


into the blue


We often associate the darker side of the colour spectrum with Autumn/Winter, yet a number of leading fashion houses opted to use deeply delicious blue hues on the runways this season.


At Amanda Wakeley’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection at London Fashion Week, Creative Nail Director Roxanne Campbell chose OPI’s lacquer ‘Light My Sapphire’ – a deep, dark blue reminiscent of the midnight sky – to complement Wakeley’s classic designs.


The brand’s polishes were also used by nail artist Miss Pop at Rag and Bone’s Spring 2016 collection at New York Fashion Week. Models wore ‘Indigo Motif’ – a deep midnight blue – to add a dramatic edge and worked to enhance the statement pieces, as nails were made to look like beach glass. This was achieved through two coats of ‘Indigo Motif’ for a glassy look and frosted with a coat of Matte Top Coat.


sheer beauties


For clients who prefer more neutral colourways, fashion powerhouses including Carolina Herrera, DKNY and Michael Kors all opted for natural, nude shades to complement their Spring/Summer creations.


For designers Steven Tai, Bora Aksu and John Smedley, Jessica’s blush pink shades of ‘Soho in Love’ and the sheer fresh crème ‘Blush’ were used to create a minimal look that was effortlessly elegant.


At the Holly Fulton show, Ciaté created a pared back nail aesthetic that complemented the embellishments and frills across the collection. Peaches and orange nudes were the chosen shades which made for a chic palette against the diversity of the fabrics.


shape up!


Thanks to the likes of Rihanna, Khloé Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, coffin nails are set to influence nail shapes for 2016. This fashion-forward look offers great versatility; ideal for showcasing a bold singular swish of colour or providing a canvas for creating inspiring nail designs.


In fact, Ms Jenner’s coffin-shaped talons have been sporting one of the season’s key nail art trends – stripes. Designers including Marissa Webb and 3.1 Phillip Lim used horizontal and vertical stripe designs on their models and Zac Posen even took the style further with his pretty plaid creations.


Other nail shapes making waves for Spring/Summer 2016 include that of almond. This feminine nail design is perfect for elongating fingertips and has been favoured on recent red carpets by the likes of Adele, Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez.
