The London-based artist spills her top polish shades.
According to Diogo, vibrant green is the color of the moment — and it's not going anywhere. In particular, she recommends the shade Avo Guac by Color Dept. Furthermore, Diogo says a short, black, glossy nail is chic now, and as we go into the cooler months, plums and deep reds will also be top nail color picks.
There's something special about a color you can wear year-round, no matter the season; a shade that is timeless and looks good with everything you wear. For Diogo, a nude color is the epitome of a seasonless shade deep red she says is a perennial classic, too.
The French manicure is forever a nail style staple, but it's recently been given new life and color, literally. "We're steering away from the regular white French manicure and we're having different colors on each finger," Diogo says of the colorful trend. To recreate the look at home, Diogo recommends using a fine nail or makeup liner brush to paint the color tips.
Technicolor hues dotted atop a sheer nail is also a popular request, Diogo says. To try the look yourself, use any pointy object, such as the tip of a toothpick, to dot the polish on the nails.
Retro, '70s-inspired swirl patterns feel fresh now. White swirls, in particular, Diogo says, are everywhere. To create your own, she says you'll need a thin brush to draw the swirls over base coat.
