A street-style revolution is erupting, according to Swarovski. Gritty, sports-influenced designs inspired by ‘90s hip-hop will be the new uniform for expression. Nails will become a billboard with thoughts and graffiti-style typography to showcase a bold attitude.

To satisfy the need for bling in athleisure, top the edgy style with the Skull Flat Back or Crystal Iridescent Blue Pearls, you can even try Shiny Lacquer Pro Effect Crystals that are half-opaque and half-shiny.
