Aside from the Fashion Week collections that hit the drugstores each spring and fall, I don't do much coverage of Fashion Week here on Nouveau Cheap. But when this info from Essie hit my desk, I wanted to share it with you because I personally find it fun when brands that we can easily purchase at the drugstore are used on the runway.
Take a peek at how Essie was used at the Veronica Beard and Tanya Taylor shows. Maybe these looks can give you a bit of "nailspiration":

I'm excited to recreate the au natural + licorice + matte top coat look from the Tanya Taylor show. And I also wouldn't have thought to pair copper with magenta--I think I kind of love those two shades together. What do you think?

I think both looks are cool. I'm not too crazy about matte nails, but I'll try anything once (cosmetically speaking, that is!).
Does anyone know where to get "Au Natural" - I haven't seen it anywhere! Thank you!
I have au natural. It's one of my favorite colors! Love the black tip. Might have to try it.
I think it came out in 2005 or around there...you can still get it on Amazon.
Lol!! ;)
You should! :)
I want a matte top coat too...but I'd like to find a mini version, because I know I won't use it too often.
& oh my gosh that French mani photo reminds me of when I was at a nail salon and asked for French manicure w/ dark forest green color for the tips (in honor of St. Patrick's Day, lol), but they layered on so many coats that the tips just ended up looking black. -_- oh well. can't control the results unless you DIY!
NYC and Hard Candy both make matte top coats.
Shortandsweetjoy: like Vick said,.NYC makes a matte top coat that retails for only $1.99, and it's awesome! Here's my review:
