Nothing is more fun than art, so what if it was combined with beauty – and more specifically nails? Sounds better, right? While some women express their audacity with jewelry pieces and outfits, some others count their nails as an opportunity to break the codes and flaunt their bolder side while remaining elegant and sophisticated. From this idea was born the nail accent trend. The latter consists of adorning one of your nails – mainly the ring finger – with a color that creates a swooning contrast with the other ones.

Although it’s a form of nail art, the accent nail is the easiest to achieve and the one that packs a statement in the most subtle and elegant of ways. All you have to do is to go through the usual nail polish application routine while replacing the color you choose on all your nails with another one on your ring finger. As for the color combinations, think of pairing your dark nail polish with a colored one on the nail that you choose to accent or vice versa. And if you’re going on a night out with the girls, why not opt for a sparkling accent nail? This is not all, as the accent nail can also be achieved using the same color in a matte and a shiny version.

With this trend seen everywhere, you must try it out! Who knows, maybe it will become your favorite.
