Naja Rickette, West Hollywood Celebrity Nail Artist talks bold winter nail trends as worn by Nicki Minaj on the cover of US Marie Claire.
Fall/Winter 2013 means bold, rich, vibrant colours to the fore in deep hues like oxblood, deep blue and dark purple. “Metallics will still make a flash appearance especially in silver – think lines, spikes and studs,” said Naja Rickette.
Naja’s Winter Look 1: Colour combinations will be very popular, especially contrasting ones e.g. a mix of nude with oxblood, red, deep blue and purple. This manicure is easy for anyone doing an at-home manicure. It’s also for those who can’t decide on one colour!
Naja’s Winter Look 2: Oxblood with a silver lining, you can choose to go subtle with thin silver stripes outlined in black, or you can go for a larger, bolder metallic statement.

“Nail art orders will be subtle lines, interesting colour combinations and a switch to more feminine details, nail shapes will go from pointed edges to a more subtle tapered square,” said Naja.
