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.

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.

I don’t have one specific color but any jewel tones like plums, magentas, and teals!
I like the ‘Jasper’ Nail Lacquer by JINsoon. I usually like the darker colors, so I think this shade would suit me. I also like that it is made in the USA and not tested on animals.
i like the lighter color i am like you blonde and had nail and then i like to stay to green light blue and and some time pink
Nice prizes!
Rouge Louboutin Nail color hands down!
I have always wanted to try ‘Rouge Louboutin’ Nail Colour by: Christian Louboutin. The red is amazing, and I would rock it with everything!
i love the Red Carpet Manicure ‘Flash Forward’ Nail Art Kit, it would inspire me to have my nails done all the time.
Love love love the Christian Louboutin ‘Rouge Louboutin’ Nail Colour. Not only is the color stunning, but the bottle is so ispiring as well….don’t know if I can spend $50 on a bottle of polish though….

I’m not sure how “Fall” it is but I like the Rouge Louboutin. It seems like something I would wear with my little black dress.
I fell in love with JINsoon Cool Blue immediately
I like the Kiss & Love – La Laque Couture’ Nail Lacquer in the Carmin D’or because it’s similar to a color I always wear.
I love the Dior Purple Rock. So pretty!
I like the Essie fall nail color, I like purple or pink nail polishes.
I am inspired by ‘La Laque Couture’ Nail Lacquer in Bronze Aztec. It looks like the perfect shade to welcome the Fall season with! Thanks for the chance!
I’m into the nude with rose gold tips or rose gold glitter. I don’t want an all over rose gold because the color is kind of mauve-ish and dated looking
I really enjoy anything by Esse, but their pinks and specifically their A-list color is my favorite.
