    You never know what trends you’re going to find backstage at fashion week. Especially when it comes to nail trends. Walking into Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Australia 2018 I didn’t know if I would be getting a sea of models with naked manicures, or full-blown cat claws. And don’t get me wrong, there were lots of bare nails this year, but backstage at Karla Spetic I spied something a bit different...

    Models had their digits painted with one of two Smith & Cult nail polishes with a pearlescent finish - and I’m now obsessed with pearlescent nails! Smith & Cult’s Mikele Simone told BEAUTYDIRECTORY that the overall look was meant to give the girls “a translucent feel throughout, like they were being like from within, a bit like a stain glass window.”

    The colours backstage were Smith & Cult nail polish in Sugarette (left) an opaque white smoke and Smith & Cult nail polish in 1972 (right) an opaque rose gold foil.

    Other pearlescent nail polishes we love: OPI nail polish in Kyoto Pearl, Mavala Switzerland Arabesque Color Collection nail polish in Metallic Grey, SinfulColors Pearl nail polish in Tokyo Pearl

    Interestingly pearlescent finish is so hard to find. And it is my fave

    These look lovely, would definitely give these a shot. I like to keep my nails a bit shorter though.

    I love the matte colours

    Hayley644 2 Jun 2018 9:16 PM

    Don't really like this look. Looks a bit tacky.

    Jessica712 30 May 2018 12:03 PM

    I like the pearlescent nails but I prefer a shorter nail.

    Oh much prefer to do my own nails, take my time, file and exfoliate, do cuticles and then paint.

    Gail157 27 May 2018 4:48 PM

    I really like these new colours. Only problem is, I think I am a bit too old for them!

    Beckky 27 May 2018 12:28 PM

    An awesome look :)

    sootyblack_14 26 May 2018 2:55 PM

    Not too keen on this look... It reminds my of old lady nails... Ha ha!!!

    Sally10 25 May 2018 5:47 PM

    I love that rose gold one, such a pretty colour :)

    NatalieChew 20 Aug 2018 8:45 PM

    i love that too

    Chrystalage 25 May 2018 4:22 PM

    I do like the silver, though I'd need a good coat of hardener to make it chip resistant

    Susmat 25 May 2018 3:48 PM

    very pretty look

    Margaret 322 25 May 2018 9:50 AM

    I love the pearly finishes for specific events, but I’m sure it doesn’t last as long as the the new shiny shellac’s.

    Tigerlily 23 May 2018 2:03 PM

    Ooh love love love especially the 1972 rose gold! I wish I could keep it lasting a day though!!!

    sunjeanie 23 May 2018 1:22 PM

    I'm a bit on the fence with Pearlescent nails, or maybe just impartial. I'm not sure. Don't love, don't hate. I guess I prefer other colours/finishes.
