During this New York Fashion Week, I didn’t follow the catwalk shows as closely as I usually do. I found myself drawn into what was going on backstage. For me, the hair, make-up and in particular, nail trends are always the best bits. You can be inspired and imitate without it costing an absolute fortune.
So, for those of us who don’t have a fortune to spend:
Sally Hansen for Prabal Guruing in Angel Bite
It’s weird that I find this appealing, not least because of all my blood-related phobias. I love that its theatrical and macabre without being completely over-the-top.
Revlon Top Speed nail enamel in Spirit, worn for the Rag & Bone show
White nails. White goes with everything. It’s the new black. Was that too obvious?
OPI for Jason Wu
Or maybe this is the new black: a colour I can only describe as off-black. I love it! This is OPI in Suzi Skis in the Pyrenees. Wouldn’t you buy it for the name alone?
Essie for Carolina Herrera
I never opt for a French manicure- it should be the ultimate in neutral sophistication but I think it always ends up with the white looking too white for an overall unnatural look. This, to me is what a French manicure should look like: clean and simple. You can achieve this by applying the white tip first, followed by two layers of Essie nail polish in Adore-A-Ball. Wouldn’t this be the perfect wedding look?

Love those top nails, so pretty x
I really love the first ones, too - I would make a right mess of it if I tried to imitate, though. Sadface.
i agree with the french manicure thing, i can handle it on my toes but haven't even done it in so long!
Loving that french manicure! You're right, it's so clean and simple!
Oh I wouldn't dream of trying it myself Emma... but I'm thinking of taking this picture to the right manicurist!
Gorgeous manis!

I'm all about those dark moody nails. Perfect for the season.
The model at the top has such a pretty, natural bronzed look. Interesting what you say about a French manicure. I agree.. I'm going to try the essie color over white and see how it looks!
I'm diggin the off black :)
Seriously Thelma, Galway is probably in my top 3 favorite places in the world. I totally fell in love with it when I was there. MOSTLY because the people are hilarious and fantastic. I felt like the Irish were always trying to pull one over on us ;) Is that how you are too??? hehe.
I really like the look of that off-black colour. It looks very stylish. Happy day, sweetie
The off-black is my favorite too!
Beautiful post, love manucure :)
