Top 5 Nail Polish Trends of 2017

Outside of clothing, nail polish is one of the best ways to express yourself. It’s simple, versatile and adds a personal touch to any look. Nail polish adds a nice finishing touch to any desired look, from classic red to boundary-pushing black. 

Just like anything else in fashion, nail trends change from year to year. In order to make sure you’re staying on top of the latest trends in nail color, check out The Top 5 Nail Colors of 2017: 

Chinchilly Gray by Essie

For 2017, it looks like fashion will be abandoning the basic black nail look and transitioning to the gray scale. Varying shades of gray are destined to be popular this year. This medium, sleek gray finds a happy medium between black and whiter tones, making it simultaneously sophisticated and edgy. This gray is extremely versatile; you can wear it out on the town or to the office. Drugstores, $9

Cookies and Cream by Ciaté London

Another trend in high demand this year? Nude colors. This soft nude perfectly combines a cloudy-day gray with a touch of cream to create a balanced, natural look that easily transitions between outfits. This shade adds a touch of elegance and neutral beauty to any look. Sephora, $15

Lacey by Julep in Midnight Blue

This midnight blue with a hint of purple shimmer is a wonderful contrast to the simpler, lighter colors in style this year. It’s a bold and dazzling look that still goes well with most ensembles. Plus, Julep nail polishes also have the added benefit of drying fast and incorporating oxygen technology that keeps the nails healthy and beautiful. Ulta, $14

Good as Gold by Essie

Another fun trend to look forward to this year is metallics. This shining gold color adds the perfect touch of elegance and class to your fingertips. This particular shade has been noted for appearing gold or silver depending on the light exposure, making it the must-have metallic shade for 2017. This polish dries fast and is best worn with two coats, followed by a shiny, clear coat. Drugstores, $9

Big Apple Red by OPI

A color that remains popular regardless of the year (or even the era) is the classic red. This particular crimson is shiny and bright with a crème finish that sets it apart from other shades. This timeless red looks good on anyone and is a staple of any nail polish collection. With a color this bright, apply at least two coats and then a clear coat for optimal pop and shine. Macy’s, $12.50
