So here are 4 super gorgeous summer nail trends that you can try out to really shine through this season!

1. Candy Sweet Shades

Instead of just putting one shade per nail, go for a combination of two or more! Pick out happy, candy colors that will scream the joys of a radiant summer.

And add a 'sandy beach' kind of feel by blending the colors with an ombre effect. A very fun-in-the-sun sort of look that will instantly brighten up any look!

2. Various Levels Of French

The French nail is a timeless classic design that gives off a classy feel that also gives the illusion of longer fingers. 

This summer, treat yourself to French with a twist! Play around with the levels of French linings to create a classy and trendy look. Match up two of your favorite shades and show them off in style.

3. Boxed Up Nail

Picture it like a pretty coloring exercise, instead of the French line - the line goes around your entire nail itself.

You're going to need two contrasting shades to make this work! Only then will the design will stand out and make a statement on your fingertips. 

Our personal favorite is to paint the entire nail with some shiny gold or silver glitter, then line it up with a solid black.

4. Line Up 

Sometimes the best designs are the simplest. Here we are using the wonders of 'liners'.

Use the lines to box up your nail or to just create a simple and effortless design. For a fun and playful look, play with angles and paint the lines diagonally. Mimic a little bit of the French nail with horizontal lines towards the tip of your nails.

Otherwise, paint the lines vertically for a whole other look altogether. Really, the possibilities are quite limitless despite this simple inspiration!

7 Types Of Street Fashion In Korea

Greetings, beautiful people!

The last time we brought you three eye-catching summer looks sported by Korean girl groups --- so this time, we take you to the streets.

Korea, while jam-packed with some super delicious food and sights to write home about, has its share of really fashionable people who just become ultimate eye candies.

Here are 7 different looks that have taken to the streets and won their way into our style-loving hearts.

1. The Simple Crop

Basic tees are breaking their way back into the limelight, but not without a twist.

Cropped just enough to show off a little midriff skin --- these tees work best with a great-fitting pair of denims to flaunt effortless street style.

2. Denim-ology

Don't you just love how Hyeri of Girl's Day is decked in a totally unique and eye-catching denim ensemble?

While denim is one style that never goes out of fashion, fashionistas have amped it up in almost every way possible. From ripped jeans to dyed denims...

The sky is the limit if you want to express your sense of personal style with something as versatile as denim.

3. High On Jumpsuits

Once upon a time closely associated with farm work, the jumpsuit now has jumped its way up the fashion ranking and a must-have in every stylish lady's closet!

Moving outside the usual denim jumpsuits, behold an enormous range of simply trendy designs!

Albeit some ladies complain about lavatory-related issues when wearing jumpsuits, but most would say it's a small price to pay for looking so fashionable. *wink*

4. Platform Shoes

Heels might just have to take a backseat now, because here comes in fashionable footwear that not only gives extra height --- but is also more comfortable!

With those super thick soles, you can literally scale greater heights in style. And to add icing to the cake, some come with rather cool designs on them that scream personal style to no end.

5. Confidently Oversized

Exuding confidence like no other --- the oversized look is one of the hot favorites in Korea. No only is it great for all seasons, it makes you look super stylish without even trying too hard.

Pick out simple-looking basics to wear inside and oversized statement-maker outerwear does all the magic. No fuss, just fashion.

6. Skirts + Sneakers

One thing some of you might notice is that Koreans tend to wear flats more often than heels. Sure, heels are great from giving extra leg length to flaunt --- but something about sneakers with skirts gives off a really young and flirty look.

7. BFF & Couple Looks

Probably one of the best looks Koreans like to pull off is the BFF & couple look! Granted you need someone else's cooperation to complete it --- but it sure is worth it!

Image source: www.tumblr.com

The secret to Korean's couple wear is that you don't need to always look like twins; you just need to coordinate your outfits to match! And voila, you look like stylish peas in a pod!

(Source : http://www.buzzfeed.com/nattystyle/bathing-suits-by-body-type)

Wear this style if:

- You have a larger upper body than lower, and want to emphasize your hips 

- You would like to accentuate your waist
- You would like to lengthen legs

Why it works:
- Anything that sits at your natural waist will draw attention to the smallest part of your middle. However, it will also draw attention to the hips and pelvis area, so it’s not great for hiding a tummy.
- Most of the attention will be drawn down, distracting from a larger bust and thus balancing your shape.

Wear this style if:
- You have a smaller bust to hip ratio
- You would like to emphasize your bust to make it appear larger
- You would like to slim hips

Why it works:
- Printed, embellished tops draw attention to the bust, balancing a larger bottom
- BONUS: Dark paneling on the sides of the bottom create the illusion of a smaller hip

Wear this style if:

- You want to create or accentuate an hourglass figure.
- You want to hide a tummy.
- You want to show less skin.

Why it works:
- Ruching at the waist of the suit on the left settles into the curve of your body, while distracting from any lumps and bumps.
- The colored panels in the suit on the right create curves and enhance a bust.
- Bonus — the high cut of this suit makes legs appear longer.

Wear this style if:

- You need support in the bust
- OR You want to create the appearance of a larger bust
- You want to balance larger hips by drawing attention to bust

Why it works:
- The flounced style on top draws attention upward and away from hips.
- Fuller coverage offers more support. So it works for both small and larger busted women

Wear this style if:
- You have a larger bust to hip ratio
- You would like to distract from a larger bust and emphasize hips
- You want to draw attention to hips to balance your shape

Why it works:
- Prints always draw attention and add volume. So wearing prints where you want more attention, and solids where you want less is a great tool for balancing body shape.
