Beauty Extra: Neutral and Bright Nails at New York Fashion Week

Neutral colors and bright shades were some of the big themes for nails at New York Fashion Week. Nude nails were the thing at BCBG Max Azria, with models strutting their stuff with simple, clean, barely-there nails. At the Jason Wu and Rebecca Taylor shows, red and neutrals punctuated the runaways. We got the lowdown from OPI on the nail polish shades.

At Jason Wu, models wore orange-red nails and matching orange-red lips, which really popped on the runway. The bright OPI Monsooner or Later was used on fingers, while the neutral Samoan Sand was used on toes. At Rebecca Taylor, fingernails were painted with OPI Stranger Tides from the Pirates of the Caribbean collection. It’s a gray-green crème that is understated but tough-looking. Toes were coated with OPI Tickle My France-y, a purplish-nude shade. Spring 2012 is going to be a cool mix of neutrals and colors.
