Grown-Up Nail Art
While nail art was still very present at Fashion Week, we noticed that the designs seemed to be getting a bit more mature and minimalist. We also saw luxury brands like Thakoon, Badgley Mischka, Donna Karan, and Kate Spade embrace nail art in a refined way. "The luxury woman is playing in the nail art space," said Deborah Lippmann. "Color is super-important this season to luxury brands. It used to be 'what shade of sheer pink do I want,' but now that woman of wealth is interested in nail art, but finding a high-end way to do that." That means more simplistic designs like polka dots, or french manicures in contrasting shades. "Women of all ages want to be included on this trend," said Lippmann.
