Louis Vuitton Spring 2012-Inspired Nails

With spring in the air, I wanted to take a collection that felt like it really embodied the season. The sweet oversized eyelet lace in Louis Vuitton's Spring 2012 collection hit that mark to pastel perfection. To capture the look I painted a few nails with pastel shades and left a few bare. Then I painted different eyelet patterns on each nail. To get the eyelet, I made groups of flowers and teardrops--some filled in, some not. On the bare nails I went over the eyelet with sheer pastels to capture the different layers of sheer fabric that Marc Jacobs used.

Some of the polishes that I used are Migi nail art pens, Sally Hansen Smooth and Perfect in Air, OPI Hey! Get in Lime! and Essie Haute as Hello and Demure Vixen

Met Ball Best Dressed: By Designer

1. Louis Vuitton

2. Joseph Altuzarra

3. Calvin Klein

It's a bit late for a comprehensive list of best and worst dressed for last night's Met Ball, but I can say that one of my favorite reasons to watch the red carpet is to see how one designer dresses multiple celebs for the same event. My favorites from last night were Maggie Gyllenhaal and Rachel Bilson in Louis Vuitton. They looked fairly similar, but took LV's new buxom look straight off the runway perfectly. Joseph Altuzarra got a lot of buzz last fashion week, but he hasn't hit the mainstream just yet, so it makes sense he dressed models Anja Rubik and Karolina Kurkova. Calvin Klein also did an expert job with his two clients, Zoe Saldana and Diane Kruger. Both women are always exceptionally well dressed when they hit the red carpet and that held true last night as they both looked stunning in classic Calvin. MIA and Zoe Kravitz both looked great in Alexander Wang, but the whole "for the Gap" thing is so confusing and obnoxious, I left them out.
