JANUARY 2018 | NAILS MAGAZINE | 95 >>> Embracing Fun Following on the heels of futuristic chrome manicures, 2018 nail styles take a turn to feature elements of youthfulness and fun. Keep an eye out for a sticker-like style, emoji motifs, and icons. Swarovski calls this trend Funtasia, predicting that "shrill colors and show-stopping visual statements" will be featured, as well as cartoon-like motifs like eye iconography. CND co-founder and style director Jan Arnold calls for "electric pastels that animate nail artistry and urban patterns like camouflage and lightning bolts." She even recommends pushing it further, toward Japanese kawaii- inspired elements like fruits, doodles, and polka dots.
