Thom Browne Fall 2013 #NYFW Nail Art

Here's my fourth and final fashion week nail art design for The Cut! I loved Thom Browne's fall show and the gothic romance of it all.

Derek Lam Fall 2012 Runway Inspired Nails

Derek Lam's florals are a major fall favorite and to get the runway-inspired look on my nails I went with different sized variations of the flower pattern. I used a black or white base and painted flowers on top using my paint pens. Since the zoomed out view doesn't offer a lot of detail on its own, I wanted to capture some of the finer aspects of the actual flowers.

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

Comme des Garcons Play-Inspired Nails

After seeing heart-tipped nails I got it in my mind that I could take things a step further and go after one of my favorite logos, Comme des Garcons Play. I loved how accurately these turned out and it was surprisingly fun to have a ton of little eyeballs staring at me all day. These are very DIY-able, but I do recommend starting out with slightly rounded/pointed nails to get the heart shape.

In the pics I'm holding my new Comme des Garcons jewel wallet and wearing my new favorite item, my Nike Destroyrer jacket.

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

Christopher Kane Spring 2012-Inspired Nails

I am always inspired by how fresh and fun Christopher Kane's clothes can be and blown away by his originality from season to season. For Spring I was particularly drawn to the surprisingly pretty bedazzled jeans and quirky garden florals he showed. To get the look I used Sally Hansen Salon Effects denim nail stickers with Chanel Holographic "gems" on top and my nail art pens to paint individual flowers on top of OPI Significant Other Color (my new favorite sheer).

For more proof that I love Kane's fashionable sense of humor check out my Christopher Kane Aqua Gel Clutch Nails.

Proenza Schouler Spring 2012-Inspired Nails

I am newly in the mood for spring and always in the mood for a little Proenza Schouler. For this nail look I replicated my favorite pattern from their Spring/Summer '12 show, blue tropical flowers repeated on a bright yellow base. I copied the flowers with Sally Hansen Smooth & Perfect in Air and my fine black nail brush to get the retro wallpaper vibe. To keep it fresh, I went with Sally Hansen Lightening, my favorite bright yellow. I know I always say it, but I loved how these looked on!

Celine Spring 2012-Inspired Nails

What was supposed to be straightforward Celine-inspired nails turned into a sort of goth Valentine's Day look (not exactly the words I would use to describe Phoebe Philo or her fans). To get the look I began with a base of OPI Alpine Snow and used my red nail art pen to outline and fill in red geometric details. The combination of elements from the three looks make this set a little more current.

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.

Givenchy Spring 2012-Inspired Nails

When I first saw Givenchy Spring 2012 runway I thought, "get me some shark teeth" first and then, "what the heck is on their eyes." It turned out to be one of the more innovative beauty looks of the season designed by makeup genius Pat McGrath. I recreated the silver half sequin look by painting a base coat of Essie Lady Like and then painting a half-circle at the tip with Chanel Kaleidoscope. I think it would look cool to just do the half-circle tip with a clear base as well.

Givenchy Resort 2012-Inspired Nails

When I heard that Sophie from The Illustrated Nail was in town, I knew I had to get an appointment. My nail doodles don't even compare to the nail art that she creates. For the special occasion I chose a collection that I've been coveting for a while, but didn't think I could due justice on my own: Givenchy Resort 2012. Riccardo Tisci knows his way around a print and for resort he created surprisingly sophisticated optical tropical prints and one floral camo. Sophie recreated the orchids, birds of paradise, and camo to a T. It was super fun to get my nails done by someone else and I couldn't have been happier with the results.

Bonus: I ran into Matt from Style.com while I was getting them done at Seagull Salon in the West Village and my nail project got a mention on their Beauty Counter blog.
