by FASHION Staff November 7, 2013

Sitting at the top of our “must-try” list for this season is texture: from matte polish to bejeweled decals, it’s all about adding a major commotion to our digits and fueling the fires of individualism.

Of course, infinite options make the textured nail trend an ideal challenge for our Beauty Panel. Who better to show off special styles, new colours and textured techniques?
