One Finger Salute

August 18th, 2010 by sarah

I see a new nail trend on the brink, thanks to Vanessa Hudgens.

The actress stepped out at this year’s Comic Con in San Diego, California to promote her upcoming film Sucker Punch…but she also promoted a new nail polish trend, a manicure with one non-matching color on her ring finger.  Vanessa chose to wear 2010′s hottest color, turquoise along with gold for her ring finger.  I think the combo and look is fun and playful, and you can totally make this look your own.

To get Vanessa’s look try painting your nails a turquoise color, I like Essie’s Turquoise and Caicos and then paint each ring finger a gold color like, Orly Luxe Metallic (I loooove this color and collection), which has a foiled finish.  Of course you can totally play around and make this look your own.  You can decide which finger you’d like to single out; maybe paint your pinky finger a different color…and make sure to have fun with the colors!  You can do contrasting colors, complementary colors…I even like the idea of using colors from the same color family (say a dark pink manicure with one bright pink finger from each hand).  This is definitely a trend that you can personalize to your style.

So now that you’re in the know, what is your take on this new nail trend…share your feelings in the poll below!

About Cupcakes Taste Nice

My lust for beauty products has been around since I was a kid. I always wanted the most eye catching packaging and the sweetest scents. As a preteen I could not wait to get my first pimple so that I could try out the different acne products that were marketed to me in magazines and on TV. As I got older I just loved the girlie side of wanting to look and feel pretty. I love taking a shower on Saturday morning and having a plethora of products to choose from depending on my mood that day. I anticipate my beauty and style magazines coming in the mail so I can read and research new products. I even spend hours on the internet searching for factual reviews of the latest and greatest products.
