Lips, skin and hair were a study in texture on the Fall 2013 runways, and the same went for nails. Now, beauty brands are launching gritty, matte and high-gloss polishes, and top coats flecked with chunks of glitter or fabric. Global nail artist for L’Oréal Paris Tom Bachik offers his take on the trend.

Holding Pattern “They’re not grunge anymore,” says Bachik of the darker polishes his clients often request for the red carpet. Here, he’s painted one over a bright purple lacquer, pressing a cloth on the still-wet top coat to add dimension, like a glimmering opal. Try L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail Colour in “Paparazzi Pleaser” and “Breaking Curfew.”
