It’s no secret that every season the fashion and beauty industries devote special attention to “nail art”. Celebrities and fashion designers have learned to compliment their personalities and runway looks with what is sometimes considered extreme nail art. While Rihanna’s long, pointed stiletto nails may not be the look of choice for the average working woman, Sway’s here to fill you in on the latest nail trends for Spring/Summer 2011 that are boardroom friendly yet super-glam.

First up:

PASTELS

Whether its blues, pinks, or lilacs, for spring 2011 pastel nail polish is a staple.

The warm embrace of spring calls for these flirtatious and playful shades that will brighten up and enhance the cutest of spring looks.

GREY

Yes you read right! Grey is certainly in again, making it one of those versatile colours that can be carried over from fall/winter to spring/summer.

Nail art connoisseur’s should explore the many shades of grey, playing around with metallic or pastel variations. Pastel tones in particular, have a breathtaking, sophisticated and unforgettable effect on nails.

NUDE

Once again nude is the colour that in my opinion tops this season’s trends. The subtle, barely there nail is a must for Spring/Summer 2011. When worn over acrylic nails nude colours are especially yummy. Skim through the newest and latest Spring/Summer 2011 colour collections from brands such as OPI, Essie or Butter paying close attention to the various shades of nude, beige and creamy tones.

Remember, the right nail colour can compliment your skin tone as well as enhance your overall appearance while speaking volumes about your personality and sense of fashion. Therefore keeping well groomed nails painted in this season’s latest attention grabbing shades is a must for Spring/Summer 2011.
