Keep on painting: the 4 trends of now

I don't hide the fact that I have a big fetish for perfectly polished nails. If even a corner is chipped, it needs to be repainted ASAP. Fortunately, gel polish lasts longer, which means I no longer have to hover over a bottle of acetone every day and Jon goes crazy from all the nail polish mess scattered around the house. At home, I have a huge set of Caption nail polish that has developed a special technology, allowing you to create the gel effect without a lamp: ideal!

In the meantime, nail art is making a huge comeback and I can't open Instagram without seeing a picture of beautifully painted nails. Now I've also tried to create some nail art at home, but unfortunately, it hasn't turned out perfectly (so far). Fortunately, there are plenty of nail art experts where I can go for beautiful little paintings on your nails.

Nail art expert Jessica Scholte has been painting the nails of models and international celebrities for years and felt that Amsterdam was missing a place where you can go for the coolest nail art. Together with presenter Saar Koningsberger, she started Lakwerk and now everyone in Amsterdam knows how to find their cool shop for a nice mani or pedi, style advice, masterclasses, and the most awesome nail art imaginable. Especially for you, Jessica has listed the latest trends so that your nails can be polished completely according to the latest trends.

• This fall, go for a dark, chic color with a rock ’n roll edge. Think dark blue (almost black), pine green or eggplant.
• With a nice transparent nude on your nails, you're definitely set for the upcoming season.
• The classic red colors hardly miss a season. From bright red to burgundy; the shades of red remain an absolute must.
• If you're going for an exciting nail art set, choose an animal print, fine metallic nail, or go for a letter combo on your nails. Also very cool: continue the logomania on your nails. I've gone wild on the animal theme and can only look at my red/gold leopard nails all day.
