NYFW Spring Summer 2016 Manicures

New York Fashion Week Spring Summer 2016 Manicures

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

Jenny Packham’s Spring/Summer 2016 collection with earthy, ethereal vibe was highlighted when Rita Remark for essie, the brand’s new Global Lead Educator, chose this nail look: a standout bright blue to add an element of fun. essie nail products used: first base base coat, butler please,  good to go top coat

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. This trend was directly inspired by the chunky Lucite heels found throughout the Spring/Summer 2016 footwear collection. essie nail products used: first base base coat, tarte deco, beach bum blu, midnight cami, gel setter top coat

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.
