It’s time for another ‘nails during New York Fashion Week’ post! 🙂

For this instalment of Essie at New York Fashion Week: Day 4, we get a glimpse into the Diane Von Furstenberg and Jenny Packham shows.

The eye looks at the Diane Von Furstenberg show were mystical and mermaid-like with a youthful aura, so the nails didn’t compete and were kept looking clean and neutral. (When I was in my early twenties, I remember wearing bright turquoise and aquatic eye shadows. Still love the playful accent, and maybe I’ll give it a go again.)

For Jenny Packham’s show, cobalt made a statement on the nails, which made me smile. I love a bold manicure, and I appreciated how the blue contrasted against the clothing instead of blending in.

Check out the rest of this post to see more amazing photos courtesy of Essie. (At the end, there’s also a photo of Rita Remark, Essie’s Global Lead Educator, who I was honoured to meet at World MasterCard Fashion Week in Toronto previously.)

Diane Von Furstenberg

At the supermodel-studded Diane Von Furstenberg show, the natural-looking manicures allowed the eye-catching fabrics, details, and pop of colour to really shine.

Jenny Packham

To complement the spring styles, Jenny Packham‘s show featured bright, punchy blue manicures.

Which is your favourite photo in the bunch? What’s on your nails right now? Now that it’s fall, are you warming up to vampy shades, or are you still happily rocking brights?
