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?

MANICURE MUSE: Valentino Resort ‘13
Minutes after the Valentino Resort ‘13 collection posted online, Valentino took over my twitter feed. Not only was the fashion twitter world abuzz about the collection, but my best friend was too. I received frantic incoming texts begging me to do a Valentino-inspired nail design because it was the “most feminine collection she had ever seen.” So Alex, this one’s for you: The Resort collection is a breath-taking change from the brand’s dark black Fall collection. The designers paid homage to the haute 60s. It’s not retro, though. The is a real-world, modern age take on Hollywood glamour. Bursting in candy-colored floral lace, demure silhouettes and perfect party frocks steal the show.
To emulate this look, I used How Romantic by L’Oreal, Ladies in the Limelight from the Kardashian Kollection for Nicole by OPI, Chiffon Chic by Maybelline’s Color Show, and Bikini So Teeny by Essie.
To get these ladyfingers:
1. Start with a nude nail
2. Using a paper towel or sponge and a paper plate, dab lime green in various spots on your nail
3. Repeat with light blue
4. Repeat with light pink
5. Top it off with Seche Vite’s Fast Dry Top Coat

MANICURE MUSE: Marc Jacobs Resort ‘13
If you were at all intimated by Marc Jacob’s theatrical Fall ‘12 collection, take a deep sigh of relief. His taste of Spring is looking a little more upbeat and understandable. In fact, the key word for the Resort ‘13 collection is “fun.” Inspired by Cindy Sherman’s “Clown Series,” it features mix-scaled clashing prints in vibrant colors. While some of the looks still have a costumey feel, the sequined striped tees are super cute and are as retail-friendly as it gets. Above all, the micro floral dresses with the thirties-feel really capture my heart.
To emulate this look, I used Canary by Joe Fresh, Check Me Out by L’Oreal, and Royal by Love & Beauty.
To get these ladyfingers:
1. Paint 3-4 nails pink and 1-2 nails yellow (based on your preference)
2. Using a nail art brush, paint equidistant horizontal lines of shimmery blue
3. Top it off with Deborah Lippmann’s Umbrella top coat

BRIDAL SERIES: Marchesa SP’13
Happy Bridal Season ladies! Every girl dreams of their big day, but it’s always seemed so far away… until a slew of engagements show up on your mini-feed to remind you that it’s closer than you think. It’s time to start planning every last detail, most importantly—in world of Miss Ladyfinger— The Manicure. I have had a lot of requests recently on what I’d suggest for a soon-to-be-bride who wants to stand out even more. Inspired by this breath-taking Marchesa gown from the SP’13 Bridal collection, you can keep the color traditional while still adding a touch of sophisticated flare. Marchesa proves that a dress doesn’t have to be ordinary with its cobweb-like detailing and crystal encrusted sleeves. It’s about time someone stepped in and changed up the French manicure.
To emulate this look, I used I Will! and Satin Sheets by L’Oreal, and Tuck Me In by Ginger+Liz.
To get these ladyfingers:
1. Tape the top portion of your nail
2. Paint the rest of the nail stark white
3. Add a layer of shimmery ivory on top
4. Once dry, remove the tape quickly
5. Using a dotter tool, dot three tiny rows of silver dots
6. With a nail art brush, connect the dots creating a diamond shape
7. Top it off with top coat and enjoy your big day!
A big congratulations to all who are recently engaged. <3
