Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Nail trends are not always just about colors: recently, beauty media such as Glamour and StyleList have been spotting celebrities on the red carpet, wearing long-frowned-upon, 1980s-inspired long nails.
In order to keep this look classy, however, be sure to use subtle polishes on your nails.
Other key trends in nails for the coming year, as identified by well-respected beauty trend and news blog StyleList, include eye-catching gemstone rings, worn with goth nails (a winter trend that's here to stay for spring).
As for hot colors, coral red - which is also the trendiest hue for lips right now - and purple are promising to be right at our fingertips next season. Also, pale green - pioneered by Chanel's Jade polish and since then imitated by many brands including Essie - is staying, even though many think that the trend isn't very universal in its appeal.
Finally, the 'polish' in 'nail polish' could soon be a thing of the past as most labels are going for matte versions of their colors.
