New York Fashion Week might have come to an end, but we’re still gushing over our favorite manicures from the fall 2012 shows. We wanted to round up the highlights, so we came up with the five standouts that have inspired us to test out new designs.
Show: threeASFOUR
The Look: Gorgeous lacey, spider web nails by Color Club that were created to match the laser-cut pieces. Lead manicurist Alicia Torello used a specially made dove gray nail art pen to draw tiny stripes back and forth free-hand over the nail, mimicking the unique, romantic feel of lace.

The Show: Charlotte Ronson
Hair: Jeanie Syfu for TRESemmé
Makeup: Gilbert Soliz for Sephora
Nails: Fleury Rose for Color Club
The Vibe: Uber-chic women of the ’70s. “In that past, the Ronson girl has always had this natural kind of worn, gritty, edginess to it,” said Gilbert Soliz, lead makeup artist from Sephora. “This time, she’s a bit more polished, more refined.” Indeed, it was readily apparent that this season featured a more grown-up gal, complete with a sophisticated red lip and a gorgeous super-dramatic smoky purple eye (achieved using Ronson’s new Dani palette, of course).

NYC cool kid Charlotte Ronson is taking the chic downtown ideas behind her mega popular clothing brand to the next level. She’s applying her line’s effortless style to beauty with a cosmetics collection set to launch exclusively at Sephora on September 15. The line has six products — all named after and inspired by Ronson’s close friends and family. The nude lip gloss is Samantha, named after Ronson’s DJ sister; the shimmery eyeshadow is called Nicole, a tribute to BFF Nicole Richie; and other products include a beachy salt spray, a finishing powder, a liquid bronzer, and a blush trio. If these products are anything like her clothing, I’m predicting some serious success.
