Don’t file down those nails just yet. Whether they were delicately dipped or a full-on half moon, tipped manicures emerged as the go-to style of New York Fashion Week.In a fun twist, a number of designers played off of the traditional French manicure: Behnaz Sarafpour complemented her otherwise opulent collection with edgy goth nails, substituting black for the typical creamy white. Similarly, Monique Lhuillier dipped her models’ peachy digits in a subtle sliver of dark aubergine polish. Others seized a golden moment, combining the shiny hue with unexpected results. Jason Wu coated the end of ruby painted fingers with a modern, angular swipe of gold. To create a glam grunge look, Yigal Azrouël topped black with messy glitter tips that brought icicles to mind. But Jen Kao showed a manicure worthy of a true prima donna, pairing a vibrant peacock base with contrasting gold trim.
