NYFW: Nail Art for Spring 2012

Apparently Nail Art has made it's way down the runway for Spring 2012 in so many colors, shapes & patterns. Here are some pictures from backstage to the runways of the designs I loved the most:

~ CND did a very 80s Vans-inspired pink and blue checkerboard.

~ Pamela Love, Essie made an upside down V pattern that’s visually eye-catching.

~ At Jen Kao, CND did a creepy ombré using deep tones. It looks completely stunning. Use a top coat when the polishes are wet to get the blended look.

~ Ruffian's Brian Wolk and Claude Morais handpicked two unique shades to paint onto the press-on nails flashing a manicure of warm and cool colors.

~ Nonie Creme used Butter London's pink-nude shade called "Tea with the Queen" for a lingerie-inspired look.

~ CND's Candice Manacchio  from Joy Cioci created "lucite lace" nails, with their clear tips and hand-detailed lattice work.

 ~ Backstage at Odilon a MINX manicurist sports black and gold-spotted nails.

“Consumers look to spring for renewed energy, optimism, and the promise of a brighter day,” says Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, in a press statement. “They have learned how color can help them alter a mood, while providing the vitality and enthusiasm that enables them to experiment with new looks and color combinations.”

I love the variety of the colors.. It defiantly suits the coming season to create combinations of festive yet sophisticated colors. Personally looks like Honeysuckle is my new favorite to punch up with during the next season!

Enjoy xo
