It's no secret that I'm a die-hard Mad Men fan. I completely flipped out when Janie Bryant, the absolutely brilliant costume designer for Mad Men, partnered with Nailtini for the Mad-Men-inspired nail collection I showed you back in November.
Well I'm thrilled to tell you that Janie Bryant has partnered with Nailtini again to create the new limited edition Garden Party Collection:
Everything’s Coming Up Roses…
and Carnations and Cocktails:
Fashion and flirtation. Perfumed blooms and passed libations. The garden party -- where cocktails and passions are stirred in equal measure – is the inspiration for Nailtini’s summer polish collection designed by Janie Bryant, the Emmy winning fashion designer, author of The Fashion File (Grand Central, 2010) and creator of her own “MOD” line of women’s wear for QVC as well as the fashions seen on AMC’s “Mad Men.”
“The garden party is such a civilized concept, but beneath all those good manners and chic frocks, there’s an underpinning of drama, where anything can happen. The colors in the collection reflect these delightful contradictions,” says Bryant of her second collaboration with Nailtini, which comes on the heels of her highly acclaimed fall holiday limited edition for the brand. The limited edition Garden Party collection has everything from petit-four pastels to a punchy high-shine patent to a sheer shimmery veil that can be worn alone or as an overlay.
Blushing Lady: This candy shell pink with a sophisticated touch of lavender is likely just the color Edith Piaf had in mind when she sang “La Vie En Rose.” A graceful accompaniment to a floral sheath or flouncy skirt, “Blushing Lady” is ultra-feminine but never shy, and just right for the modern garden party.
Blue Carnation: A soft, creamy blue with a jade-like milkiness, this porcelain polish is a new school tribute to an old school cocktail and its namesake flower. Skip the corsage, and instead, accessorize your fingers or toes with Blue Carnation.
Admiral Perry: It wouldn’t be a proper garden party without an intriguing and dapper suitor among the guests. You’ll take a shine to his dress blues, and to the patent-leather gleam of this royal blue lacquer.
Garden Jubilee: Botany keeps re-inventing the rose with endless new hybrids. Beauty follows suit with Garden Jubilee, a shimmery “floridescent” veil that captures the prettiest greens and pinks of the rose bed in one bottle. Wear it on bare nails or as a top coat to create a nail cocktail with true flower power.
In addition to her multiple Emmy® nominations as “Outstanding Costume Designer for a Series” and a 2005 win for “Deadwood,” Janie Bryant is the recipient of the 2009 and 2010 Costume Designers Guild Award for “Outstanding Period/Fantasy TV Series” for her work on “Mad Men.” She was named to Vanity Fair’s 2010 list of “Top 100 Influencers,” as well as to the LA MOCA Costume Council.
Are any of these colors catching your eye? I'm very excited to see Garden Jubilee and Blue Carnation in person! Thoughts?
I'm liking the look and sound of Garden Jubilee!
