As I look at the back-to-school section in this issue, Imreminded of how my own experience with nails actually

began in school. In junior high I painted my nails weekly.

There was even a day in P.E. when I let my friend take a

yellow highlighter to my nails. In high school I wore flip-flops

almost daily so I painted my toenails constantly. I remember

the pure satisfaction of finding the perfect polish to match

my lavender prom dress. I was first introduced to stiletto

nails senior year because my AP English teacher always

wore hers extra-long and pointy in outlandish colors that

she let her young sons pick out.

The truth is many of us can trace our style evolution

(and pitfalls) to our time in school. And while we may have

fallen into the trap of wearing trends others deemed cool,

it was always refreshing to get a chance to start over again

come September.

I always got excited about going back to school. I would

compare it with the rush of excitement I get now when I

remove a chipped or outgrown design from my nails. While

bare nails arent my thing, I do like the looks of them for a

bit because they signify a fresh start. For a moment I realizethat my nails can become anything and look however

trendy, classic, or outstanding as I so desire. The power

to go to a salon, try a new technique, or change my color

every other day is literally at my tips. I may have outgrown

the need to match my nail color to my dress and

wear flip-flops daily, but the desire to do better

with every fresh start never gets old. One things

for sure: no more highlighter manicures.

tribalPatterns of lines and dots reminiscent of prints in other cultures define the tribaldesign. Ikat, chevrons, and geometric shapes sometimes get included into the

mix for nail art that is heavy on the details. Bright color palettes have enhanced

this look to make it a trendy must-try for nail enthusiasts everywhere.

Fla., shows how to punch up any tribal design with

oodles of color. Click here to see this tutorial.

fashion

The trends in the fashion world undeniably influence trends in the nail

world. Fabrics, patterns, and even a designers name can accessorize yourtips. Some nail artists take literal interpretations of clothing and transform

it onto their nails by painting shoes, dresses, tuxedos, and zippers. The

nail fashions featured in this section are definitely runway-worthy.

Fall fashion weeks occur every February,

and spring shows start in September. Click

here for a look at our fall photo gallery to

see how to dress your nails this season.

C C Xu,

Cape Town, South Africa

Nail artist and blogger Chi

Chi Xu has always had a

curiosity for beautiful things.

She remembers drawing

on her nails when she was

young. I started nail art from having acreative background rather than from the

beautician/nail technician side of things.

Her fascination with creating beautiful

nails has naturally led her to appreciate

the work of South Africas finest fashion

designers. For those not familiar with

South African fashion, Xu explains that it

is more about a community of designers

celebrating the multiple cultures and

heritage of the country. The major

difference between the South African

fashion world and what we are used to

seeing is the influence on nail art. Nail

art is not as established here as it is in

other countries, says Xu, so there are

definitely great opportunities for growth

and creativity. Xu recreated looks from

Thula Sindi and Gavin Rajahs latest

collections. Click here to see the original

runway looks that inspired these haute

nails.

metallics

Nothing shines quite like

precious metals. Traditional

gold, silver, and bronze are nowbeing embellished with copper

and rose gold. You can choose

to rock a heavy metal look or

a pristinely polished one. We

mined the best of both worlds

and featured those that met the

gold standard here.

Hillary Fry of Shorewood, Wis., hammered

out these beauties for the January cover

of NAILS Magazine. Click here to see howshe crafted this copper nail art.

TexturePolish creates wonderful works of art on our nails, but for an added

dimension, you can create textured looks. From caviar to velvet, nail artists

use the most innovative materials to make their designs jump out at you.

Thecool blue-gray look on the December

2011 cover of NAILS was actually

created using Velcro. Click here to see

how Jennifer Mather of Polished Nail Design Group in

Burlington, Ontario, Canada achieved the look.
