Manicure Inspiration

By -
We're a little obsessed with nails lately, so much so, we might as well rent a bunch of chick flicks and talk boys while we paint.

For a twist on your traditional French manicure, try switching up the colors, making the base nude and coloring your tips, or making the tips a pattern.

Growing in popularity after a few runway appearances is the half moon manicure. This involves painting a semi-circle towards the nail bed. (Use any circle sticker from an office supply store as your shape guide.) I love the ones with bold contrasts or tonal shifts, but the bare moons just make the nail look odd from a distance.If either of these sound too ambitious, try a simple gradient. Grab colors you have in abundance and paint each nail a different shade of the same hue.

New York Fashion Week Favorites So Far

Thank you 3.1 Philip Lim! You've appeased my co-desires for wearability and an edge of funk. Love the ruffled sequin tops. Love the layered zips. Love the ruffled shoes. The shoes!!! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Anna Sui was fabulous Anna Sui with all the prints and colors and tribal influences. Of course, I'm biased in favor of anything that looks like a hippie-gypsy-pirate. Happy! Happy! Again, the shoes are amazing. Kudos to her also for sending out happy models, because smiling should never be out of fashion.Vera Wang, always one of my favorites, was just as sleek, romantic and modern as I would hope. I always like her neutral palette with occasional splashes of color. She used lots of sheer fabrics in this collection, but it's more ethereal than daring. The shiny details also keep things exciting.
