White Nail Polish and Temporary Tattoos

White nail polish is trending this summer. It's simple, clean and bright. “I've been pairing white polish with super fun and cool temporary tattoos called Flash Tattoos to add around the finger or hand. It's a great way to accessorize a manicure. You can even cut the Flash Tattoos and apply to your nails for to add design or create an accent nail,” says Carla.

How to: Let the polish dry and place the tattoo on the nail with a damp cloth and it adheres to the nail. Follow up with a top coat like Duri Cosmetics Miracote. It seals the polish and tattoo, so it will last up to 7 days. For a great white polish, try Duri Cosmetics Ghost retailing for $6 at Duri.com." (Shown: Ghost)

Colored French Manicure

Another trend emerging is colored French Manicure. I paired purple with a small mint green French tip for an easy way to stay simple with nail art and still look fresh for a summer.
