Since this is the first article in 2018 Madam Glam team wants to wish you a Happy New Year. We hope that you had a great start of the year!

In today's article we are going to talk about the nail trends in 2018.

According to Harper's Bazaar here are some of the best nail trends for 2018:

Black and glitters or gradients.

Ombre hair was for sure a big trend ever since it appeared about 2 years ago. Now it's time for the nails to step into the spotlight, because in 2018 ombre/gradient nails are a big trend. For example, on the runway of the Tom Ford show, we saw combinations of black gradient with yellow glitter.

Metallics

Here at Madam Glam, we love metallics so much that we have a category dedicated only to them. Metallics look so cool on nails. So if you want to be that cool girl or boy, wear some metallics, pair it them with black to achieve that baddie look or pair it them  with silver to achieve the futuristic look. Either way all eyes in the room would be set on your nails.

Rhinestones, flowers and bold colors

If you are all about the bling and the shine, flowers and bold bright or neon colors then this trend is perfect for you! Also if you like this type of trends, you can also combine rhinestones, flowers and bold colors, as I have seen many nail tech do it already in 2017. For example, you could do a rhinestones accent nail, flowers on the middle finger and the rest of the nails could wear a bright neon pink.

Here are our favorite bold colors:

Top It Swag It, Silver magic, Popular Boo, Fluorescent lights, Sky Melt, Glittery Midnight Blue, Dream Diamonds, King’s Choice, Screaming Summer, Passion Fever, Princess Drink, For Green Lovers, Silver Satin, Silver Glitters,  Lots of it, Stardust, Now we’re talking, The red, So Hot, Blood orange, Sangria, Neon Sun, Halo, Mimosa, Peach Bellini, Mango Halo, Spiked Cotton Candy, Popsicle, Bright Barbie Pink, Rich Mambo, Omg Pink, Purple pink and Neon

Lime Green.

Minimalist nails

We love minimalist nail art because it looks so effortless and it’s so easy to do, yet it looks so sophisticated. And who says that you can’t use colors while doing a minimalist nail art manicure? You can do a stripe of color as long as you don’t use too many colors and you keep it clean without too many rhinestones. And also you can use rhinestones as long as you keep a clean nail and you only use one or two rhinestones per hand.

We think that our Gelementary collection would be perfect for this look!
