MANICURE MUSE: Marc by Marc Jacobs Resort ‘13 As summer winds down and Fall shipments start to roll out, you may notice a bevy of military-inspired looks marching into stores. Military influences are going to be a big for Fall, but it’s Marc Jacob’s take on it for the Marc by Marc Jacobs Resort ’13 collection that gives military a new taste and feel. The collection is a fashion mashup featuring polka dotted denim, jumbo-striped sweats, oversized geo-frocks (pictured here), and military anoraks in a print that’s MJ’s new take on camo. And did I mention the neon hair? Click here for nail colors and step-by-step instructions!

MANICURE MUSE: Josh Goot ‘13 When it’s winter in New York, it’s tough to envision a world with color. But lucky for us, Australian-born Josh Goot’s “winter” inspiration is anything but muted. Inspired by the Great Barrier Reef, the Aussie designer delivers a bright and bold Resort ‘13 collection focusing on minimal looks true to the Goot aesthetic. The silhouettes are strong with tons of volume and structure, and the prints are fierce. This abstract sheath demands attention and the Ladyfingers are sure to do the same. Plus, great minds think alike! The Josh Goot Resort ‘13 collection is now available this week on Moda Operandi… Get at it, ladies. For nail colors and instructions for these ladyfingers, visit the BRAND NEW http://missladyfinger.com !!! Hope you love it. xx, MLF

MANICURE MUSE: Peter Som Resort ‘13 For those of you who fancy lace, you’ll love Peter Som’s Resort ‘13 collection. For me, it’s always been a tricky fabric to wrap my head around. Somehow I gravitate towards the bold and graphic, and steer clear of vintage frill. With that said, Peter Som has made me a believer. The collection as a whole is a wanderlust trip to Morocco, described by Som as “nomad-chic.” The shades of blue in Moroccan-inspired prints are a trip themselves, but it’s how he translates them into his signature tailoring that keeps the collection grounded and new. Demure Chantilly lace makes a breathtaking statement because of it’s fine craftsmanship, but its the bold-colored lace that makes the Ladyfinger statement.  To emulate this look, I used Trout Pout by Butter London, Baby Blue Color Club Nail Art Duo, and a black Sally Hansen nail art pen.  To get these ladyfingers:  1. Start with a full light pink nail 2. With a light blue nail art pen or brush, draw an “X” in squiggles and loops 3. Using your black nail art pen, draw squiggles and loops in a triangle shape with the point facing towards the center 4. Repeat on the other side 5. Top it off with top coat (Photo: Vogue.com c/o Peter Som)

MANICURE MUSE: BCBG Max Azria AW’12 For the past few seasons, it has been clear that BCBG Max Azria hasn’t been able to shake their love for color-blocking (not that I’m complaining). For Fall ‘12, they nod to the Bauhaus movement for inspiration. Even if you didn’t pay attention in Design History: 101, you’d still be able to figure out that it’s all about simplified forms and functionality as seen with the slew of color-blocked dresses in lean silhouettes. It’s the touch of added luxury that makes this season a standout. Fur was strategically patchworked into unexpected places like shoulder tops and down sleeves. This is one of my favorite looks from the show. Both the vest and the dress are each eye candy on their own, but together are total power players. To emulate this look, I used Greyt Expectations and I Will! by L’Oreal, Trout Pout by Butter and Black by Color Club. To get these ladyfingers: 1. Paint your full nail taupe 2. Divide your nail in half (you can use tape if you need a guide) and paint the bottom half pink 3. Once dry, paint a white stripe on either side of your nail 4. Using a nail art brush, paint a line of black along the edge of the white 5. Paint the bottom white portions black with an even thick horizontal line 6. With a very fine paint brush, paint small taupe rectangles on each side of the top part of the white stripe (optional) 7. Top it off with top coat
