I love that nails and nail art have become such a big part of fashion week. It’s so interesting to see what nails designers and manicurists create to accompany each collection. Each season I have my favorites- manicures that just blow my mind! Take a look at my top picks below and let me know in the comments which one you like best!
Kate Spade– Kate Spade certainly knows how to bring the cute factor and I’m dying over these gingham nails- so sweet.
Tracy Reese– These color-blocked nails are so fun and look like they wouldn’t be too hard to replicate!
The Blonds– How amazing are these nails?! I love this twist on the caviar manicure (and how they look a little dangerous too!).
Ruffian– They used delicate gold appliqués on some of the nails (like chic doilies on a miniature scale).
Binetti– Uhhh, I’ve never seen anything like this before! They created a triple-tier manicure for an oyster effect- see the tiny little pearls sandwiched between each layer?
Rachel Antonoff– These clear tips are so cool! I must figure out if this can be DIYed.
Prabal Gurung– Creeeeepy! These blood-dripped nails were created by manicurists from Sally Hansen.
Katie Gallagher– This is such a beautiful design and so glamorous. I’m definitely a fan of this black and gold combination.
Joy Cioci– This manicure is so ethereal and almost looks crystallized to me- simply beautiful.
![BLOODMARKED by Tracy Deonn (@simonteen #gifted) • This was probably my most anticipated release of 2022 and it was amazing! LEGENDBORN catapulted onto my list of all-time favorite books when I read it a couple years ago and now BLOODMARKED is right up there with it.
I loved being back in this world and back with these characters. Bree is such an incredible main character. She can be critical of herself, but she’s also so brave and strong. She lets herself be vulnerable with her close circle of friends. She loves fiercely and she would go to the ends of the earth for the people that she loves. Throughout this book, Bree has so many questions about her powers. When she finally realizes the answer, I was like “Yesssss, girl, yessssss!!!”
I’m so in awe of the fantasy world that Deonn has created. I loved learning more about Bree’s magic in book 2 and it still feels like there’s so much left to discover about the magical workings of this world.
This book was action-packed up and I did not want to put it down! I saved it for my honeymoon so that I could read it in longer chunks. I’m so glad I did that because I feel like it really allowed me to immerse myself in the world as I was reading.
I enjoyed this book so much, from the character growth, to the battle scenes, to the themes of self-discovery and finding your path. I can’t wait for more people to read BLOODMARKED! If you haven’t read the LEGENDBORN books yet, what in the world are you waiting for??

I love the gingham! Apparently all you need is strips of tape. I’m excited to try it out :)

Oh, awesome! Let me know if you do end up giving it a try!
They’re all Lana del Ray nails! I guess I’m going to have to figure out how to file mine into points…
Oh you’re right, I didn’t even realize until you pointed it out!
REALLY amazing nail jobs!

Agreed, these nail artists are so talented!
These nail designs are really wild – and i’m surprised to see most of them SO LONG! I don’t like it. They creep me out. (and I used to wear my own nails that long years ago. i cringe at the thought)
Yeah, I don’t like them quite that long either. I also prefer mine to be more square, instead of pointy like these are.
I thought the nails were super cool this season. But some of them are so impractically time consuming… I heard the Rodarte ones took like two hours to make each set, and then they still had to be put on models the day of the show!
Wow, that is a crazy long time x however many models they have!
