Bill Blass Fall 2012
I loved the nails for Bill Blass this season! Modern, chic and simple is the best way to describe the beautiful duet that we created using Single Ladies, with a never before seen dusty nude shade across the tip.
We took a departure from the classic red that we normally see at Bill Blass, and went with a bordeaux red that matched the lips. The nails really gave the models a bit of an edge, while...

Marchesa Fall 2012
In a word, Marchesa was MAGICAL. The collection was nothing short of genius and perfection – I’m literally going to dream about it!
We created a few different nail looks to match the various moods of the collection. Regardless of which shade each model wore, the nails and toes matched, and the shape of the nail was short and round. We used Single Ladies, Nefertiti, Stardust, and Fade to Black...

Ports 1961 Fall 2012
This season, the Ports 1961 show was at the New York Public Library which is an absolutely beautiful space for a show. I loved being a part of both backstage, and the actual show!
The direction was modern sensuality. The clothing had textures, metallics and solids, so we wanted that metallic feeling to be in the nail in a very modern way. We decided to do a custom shade with a variation of...

Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2012
This season was a little different at Narciso Rodriguez. Last fall we created the amazing custom shade, Stormy Weather, and it was an instant hit. This year, the look was about simplicity and a well-groomed nail.
We chose the shade days ago, but then there was a change in direction and the models ended up wearing gloves for the show. Your first reaction is probably to think that if the nails...

Rodarte Fall 2012
Rodarte was as incredible as ever this season. We were given the direction of “Australian Outback,” so we went back and forth until we came up with the perfect combo for the collection!
We did two coats of No More Drama, a beautiful caramel shade with gold shimmer that I created with Mary J. Blige, then used my Flat Top matte top coat to tone down the shimmer and give the nail a dusty...

Badgley Mischka Fall 2012
Backstage at Badgley Mischka was so fun this season, and the nail look was absolutely gorgeous! The inspiration for the collection was from the angles and geometry of the Impressionist film “Metropolis,” and you can see the theme throughout the whole beauty look!
They did a beautiful big hair look with a deep aubergine lip, so we started with an aubergine toe in Dark Side of the Moon....
