New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 2016 Manicures

Jin Soon Choi created colorful nail art that played with the monochromatic theme of the Tibi SS16 collection. JINsoon products: JINsoon Spring 2016 Collection (Picture above supplied by JINSoon and BPCM)
It appears that, just like Spring/Summer 2015, NYFW Spring Summer 2016 Manicures have two trends: ultra-nude/barely there/pink/golds or opaque brights/lights. I didn’t bring you any of the ultra-nudes and barely theres because, quite frankly, they are a yawn to look at. I prefer the nude shade but they just don’t make great pictures.

Brooks Brothers by Zac Posen’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection was highlighted by Glamsquad for essie who created a standout nail design that played on the plaids and interesting stitching details found throughout the garments, all while keeping true to brand’s classic resort feel. essie nail products used: first base base coat, fifth avenue, pret-a-surfer, bikini so teeny, sand tropez, , quick-e quick drying drops

Rebecca Minkoff, fashion designer and essie’s Global Color Designer, chose “lucite sunset” for her main mainicure design for her Spring Summer 2016 Manicures look.

Taking inspiration from Sophie Theallet’s African themed Spring/Summer 2016 collection, Julie Kandalec for essie created a modern crocodile nail design with shades licorice and leggy legend.
Veronica Beard took inspiration from Miami Beach in the 1970’s for the Spring/Summer 2016 collection. To pair with the “baked out” color palette, Glamsquad for essie created a statement half moon nail look by using clambake, a creamy red-orange, on the tip of the nail.

Patent Shine 10X™ – Sweets’ Nail Lacquer (Limited Edition) (Nordstrom Exclusive) in the color of “Sweets” inspires me. There are just some colors that make me feel pretty and make me feel like a lady. That is definitely one of them.
I love the Rouge Louboutin’ Nail Colour because it’s a wonderful color for fall. Very cute.
I like the Christian Louboutin Scarabee #3, it’s golden brown is just what fall feels like to me.
I like the Yves Saint Laurent ‘La Laque Couture’ Nail Lacquer blues bleu majorelle and bleu cobalt
what I love vs what I would love to wear are two very different things. I love the reds but can not wear since I can not grow them beyond stubby. boo.
i like the Dior
‘Vernis’ Gel Shine & Long Wear Nail Lacquer in font row because its bright and stands out
I really like the dark blues. They will pop against all the browns & greens that are work in the fall.
Essie has a nice rich red called “Twin Sweater Set” that I think is a perfect color for fall nails.
I love dark colors, makes me feel cozy!
I like the Essie Cream nail polish in First Timer. It’s a light color 🙂
I am loving the Essie, After School Blue Blazer. I could really use a great blue in my collection. Makes me think of jeans and comfort.
My favorite is the “Berry Naughty” by Essie. I love the deep dramatic color. Fall is one of my favorite times of year. I think this color will go with just about anything in my wardrobe.
