Great colours. Great image (thank you, Racked !).

HEAVENS TO BETSEY (AND O.PI. for SEPHORA)

Betsey Johnson has joined the ranks of fashion designers diving into the nail product arena.


Not just content with some varnishes, decals or nail strips, she's gone the whole hog with all the Betsey-inspired nail paraphernalia anyone could ever wish for. 


Get 'em at Sephora.

FEATHERED

This is dope. 

A logical jump from real snake skin appliqué, but for some reason far (far) less creepy.


The girls over at bellasugar got it happening (cruelty-free too, by the way).

IT'S ALL ABOUT PRIORITIES

As you can see, little Nicks is not looking her usual effervescent self at the launch of her MAC DivaViva Glam collection.


It was reported that she was 'horrified by a broken nail' and initially 'refused to leave the car'.  


Luckily some of her 'people' know how to work superglue. Devastation diverted. 


Hoorah.

NEW YORK FASHION WEEK

Are we sure this wasn't NYN(ail)FW??

Designers have EMBRACED the nail artist, and it feels good....

Sooo many nails on show to complete the styling of each new collection, including Ruffian, The Blonds, Behnaz Sarafpour, Kate Spade, M. Patmos, Rebecca Taylor, Lauren Moffatt, Daniella Kallmeyer, Rebecca Minkoff, Phillip Lim, Rachel Antonoff, Pamela Love, Nicole Miller, Alice+Olivia, Christian Cota and Betsey Johnson (but to name a few...) 

Amazing, intricate, incredibly hard, brilliant work. 

Congratulations to all those techies doing it backstage. Bronz'd salutes you!

INSERT LFW!

With the fashion spotlight firmly trained on New York for the last couple of weeks, this little beauty has slipped onto the radar in London Town. 


Henry Holland and Sophy Robson (who else??) for House of Holland created a houndstooth extravaganza. 


David Jones, eat your heart out. 


So dope.

The brief was 'dirt effect'. 


Could it be the nails were as tough, yet magnificently gorgeous as the accessories??


Love.
