NYFW Fall 14: Less Overdone
Making yet another appearance on the high-end fashion and beauty scène this season, nail art is noticeably not going anywhere!! Designers from all different realms embraced the art of making the statement on nails a continuing trend, which shows the market of the high nail art demand. However, this season the nail designs were not about over exaggerated prints and patterns that were seen last season! For Fall 2014, designers took a more classic approach by doing more shorter nails in two-tones polishes as seen on the runways by some designers such as; Adam Selman, Peter Som, and Tess Giberson. I was anticipating to see a bit more over the top nails designs on the runways as seen on runway at The Blonds show, but I guess designers wanted to keep the focus more on the garments and letting the minimalistic nail art be that little extra accessory to finish off their collection. Nonetheless, still appreciative! And shout-out to all the designers who welcomed nail art back onto the runways for another season!(The nail gods are smiling from above):
Desigual: Sold gold polish w/ accents of embellishment
Adam Selman: “Goth French”

Boom Nails: Lichtenstein Inspired
Over the years, I have grown and developed a high admiration to the evolution of art. Growing up in a big city, art is a huge influence and is embedded in the trains, streets, building, etc. Watching art play out into my own personal life, it still remains relevant and has become more well rounded in the sense of art being the legitimate “right- hand ” to the nail art world.
The nail art that you see are from London nail artist, Boom Nails that is inspired recreation by American pop artist, Roy Lichtenstein sand dune painting! Inspired movingly by “Comic Strips”, in the 1960’s Lichtenstein was considered the lead creature of the new art movement.
Inspiration : Roy Lichenstein [Guild Hall East Hampton, 1980]

Cunnt Claws: Hypnotizing Claws
(Claw Alert!!) To be honest, I was “team indecisive” this weekend when I took a trip to the nail shop, and wanted nothing to do with the inspirational designs from my personal nail menu that I drew out ahead of time for my nail technician. Taking a entirely unlikely path, I engaged in some “forbidden” activity, and repeated nail designs from my past!
Not only did I take a visit back into my nail art museum archives and recycled some of my old nail designs from a few years back, but I am also still going strong with square shaped nails!
