The 2014 Nude Manicure?

With Awards Season in full force, one hot new emerging nail trend on the Red Carpets of the Met Gala, Cannes Film Festival and Billboard Music Awards is The Nude Manicure.

Although we've seen it before, it's a recurrent beauty trend. 

The Nude Manicure is being touted as a refreshing, chic alternative to the perennial bright Summer nail.

It's a toned-down look which has added advantages of accenting any color perfectly (as demonstrated on recent Red Carpets by Emma Stone who wore her nude manicure with fuchsia, Jennifer Lopez who wore it with red, and Katie Holmes in yellow).

The nude mani also gives the appearance of long, elegant fingers.

There are lots of options out there for creating the 2014 nude manicure but I think a front runner is going to be the new Dermelect hue - Naturale which is a nude with a shimmery peach accent.  Very soft and looks great with a beautiful summer tan.

What do you think of the nude manicure?
Is it going to be the most popular manicure for summer?
How does it differ than the traditional French manicure.  Do you think it's better or not?

What are your favorite nude mani tans?  Do you like the OPI options or something from Butter or Essie?  Please share.

Thoughts?
