This here is a little tribute to New York inspired by 3.1 Phillip Lim's Spring 2013 collection. His recent collections have been just fabulous, including the recent Pre-Fall line. I can't wait to see what comes down the runway this February.

Spooky! Nails inspired by Charlotte Olympia, Markus Lupfer and Versace for Halloween.

Proenza Schouler Fall 2012 Nail Art

When I first saw OPI's new Pure Lacquer nail polish strips a lightbulb went off. The metallic scale print  of the "Reptile" strips has a lot in common with the beautiful Far-Eastern patterns from Proenza Schouler's Fall 2012 collection--all they needed was a few angular black lines. To round out the full look, I painted Lady Amherst Pheasats (thank you Vogue.com for identifying the birds) on two fingers on each hand.

Polished Nail Art

In case somehow you missed it, you should probably watch my new nail show on Look TV. I've gone ahead and pulled each look out separately so that you can choose between Dior, Altuzarra and Chanel.

Charlotte Olympia Kitty-Inspired Nails

After seeing these super cute cat nails on Pinterest, I knew that I had to give that same idea a twist featuring Charlotte Olympia's kitty flats. To get the look, I went to town with nail pens. What do you think?

Prada Spring 2012-Inspired Nails

In order to attempt the holy grail that is Prada runway I had to bring out the big guns: Migi Nail Art Pens. The superfine tip on these pens are the ultimate tool for highly detailed nail designs. I left the base of my nail clear (my go-to is Nail Magic) and created flames and geometric shapes of a mix of black, red, baby blue, yellow and white. The somewhat limited range of colors of the nail art pens worked perfectly with the retro glamour of Prada's Spring 2012 collection. Its a fine line between rockabilly and runway, but these were definitely fun to wear.

In the photos I'm wearing my neon camping bracelet and J Brand Terra Cotta skinnies.

Christopher Kane Aqua Gel Clutch-Inspired Nails

I have a definite soft spot for fashion that is also fun. Christopher Kane always delivers on that front and his Fall 2011 collection was no exception. The item that stood out on everyone's list was his Aqua Gel-Filled PVC Clutch. I knew I wanted to adapt this piece to my nails if only to bring back so many memories of trading stickers during recess and being lucky enough to score a jelly one.

To get the look, I layered a Deborah Lippmann sheer purple with an Essie neon pink and swirled the two colors while they were still wet. After letting the colors partially dry, I took the back of my brush and drew wavy lines, revealing my natural nail underneath, then finished it off with a clear top coat.
