Perfectly Polished: CND Nail’d It Again at NYFW 2012

13 Feb Perfectly Polished: CND Nail’d It Again at NYFW 2012

One of my favorite parts about seeing all of the trends that pump down the runway during New York Fashion Week for the following season, is looking at  the models’ nail situations.

Last year, I liiiiived for everything that CND did, and this year is no exception. So consider this a special NYFW version of ‘Perfectly Polished.’

Let’s take a look at my favorite nail looks Day 1-4 courtesy of CND.

“At Behnaz Sarafpour, Roxanne Valinoti created an array of high shine gold and metallic manicures.” ”

“These nail looks went well with the collection’s high-tech feminine feel. Fans of this look can recreate the manicure at home with CND Colours in Gold Chrome and Silver Chrome.”

“At Christian Cota, Candice Manacchio crafted a “Terra Cotta” manicure to accessorize bright, bold, Mexican inspired patterns in the collection.”

“The manicure’s ombre effect was created with CND Colour in Chocolate Milk and Putty. DIY with the help of a makeup sponge by applying Chocolate Milk from the cuticle to half way down the nail, then add Putty from half way to nail end. Use CND Super Matte Top Coat to combine the two colors while still wet to finish the look.”

“At Nicole Miller, CND’s Wanda Ruiz helped showcase parallel times to prove that “the past plays out in the present.”

“CND’s “Time Machine” manicures at Nicole Miller were trippy and hypnotic in colorful swirls of CND Colours in Plumville, Electric Orange, Bicycle Yellow and Anchor Blue. Master this look at home with a toothpick (or a detailing brush) and some patience.”

“At Rachel Antonoff, CND’s Candice Manacchio designed three (two shown) playful nails for the gal with a sense of adventure: ‘Starry Night’ evoked the nighttime sky on a lake with two coats of CND Colour in Midnight Sapphire with sponged overlay of Eclectic Purple and Studio White, with a coat of CND Effects in Sapphire Sparkle.”

“Flirty Flower” was created with two coats of bold red CND Colour in Flashpoint with hand detailed ferns using CND Colours in Brilliant White and Anchor Blue.”

As for me, I’ve moved into another season, too–though, not quite Fall 2012 like these looks. I’m feeling springy. And I was looking for a refresh-mint, hehe.

With Essie’s Mint Candy Apple.

What do you think? Has CND done it again? I would say so! Oh, and what do you think of my mint nails, is anyone else rebelling against this season’s dark nails?
