Nails trend straight from the runway

The next time you go for a manicure, ask for orbit nails, also known as outline nails. New York Fashion Week didn’t just wow us with fashion trends, but also left us feeling inspired to try this minimalistic yet fabulous craze.

Nail artist Miss Pop worked with Essie to revive the orbit trend on Jeremy Scott’s show. Although not an easy one to do at home, if you are a DIY kind of girl, then you will ace it in no time.

Here are a few looks our Beauty Editor, Grace Mantjiu, liked and thinks you should try:

1. Try a bold colour on the outside, then nude on the rest of the nail.
