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.

Christian Louboutin
‘The Pops’ Nail Colour lova color i like it
Although it has been so many years I don’t even remember the last time I used nail polish, if I were going to, I would use the Essie Nail Polishes – Whites, in the pretty “Like to be Bad” color. I like that it’s not really nude, but not really bright, either.
Thanks for the giveaway! I like this one: Yves Saint Laurent
‘La Laque Couture’ Nail Lacquer.
I love the Aqua color!
I like the Allure for butter LONDON Nail Lacquer, in ‘I’m On The List.’
Yves St Laurent nail laquer in blue majorelle
I LOVE Butter London “It’s Vintage”
so nice for winter coming up!!!
Like fallen leaves. 😀
I find their YSL 64 Fuschia Rain color to be inspiring because it’s bold and colorful….reminding me to stop being a wallflower.
My inspiration is M·A·C ‘Studio’ Nail Lacquer in mean & green. I love the color and it would go with most of my outfits!
I am loving the Deborah Lippmann Painted Desert polish in “Love in the Dunes”. Matte colors can be fun anytime but I love them for fall, I feel like the muted colors pair well with the cooler weather that can be gloomy but still beautiful.
I love the Essie Mauves “In Stitches”. It’s such a nice calm red, a great mix between bright summer red’s and dark purply winter reds.
The Essie Cream Nail Polish in Flowerist is definitely one I’d wear in the fall I love deep purples!
Essie’s Jelly Apple inspires me for fall. I love red nail polish in the fall and winter because it goes with everything.
I think the Christian Louboutin Scarabée polish in the gold and copper color would look amazing on.
Lancome’s Vernis in Love would go beautifully with a business suit I purchased from Kohl’s.
I am loving the Yves Saint Laurent ‘La Laque Couture’ Nail Lacquer in Bleu Cobalt. Blue is my favorite color in any shade but this one is amazing. I love the dark color and high shine.
My favorite is Dolce&Gabbana Beauty
‘The Nail Lacquer’ Liquid Nail Lacquer in honey because it’s a nice neutral that would complement everything.
I love the red tones, it makes me feel powerful. Like this one Essie Cream Nail Polish, Color Binge.
Pop Water – La Laque Couture’ Nail Lacquer
that one would be great as a gift..im not really inot [polish
I like the Dior Metropolis. It’s a nice, muted shade.
