MANICURE MUSE: Louis Vuitton Spring ‘13 Campaign
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: 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

MANICURE MUSE: Louis Vuitton AW’12
As expected, Marc Jacobs pulled out all the bells and whistles for Louis Vuitton’s Fall ‘12 collection. The show started with a vintage locomotive train car that actually pulled into the Cour Carrée du Lourve. Models stepped off with accompanying porters carrying the signature LV luggage. One of my favorite looks from the show was this eye-catching oversized coat. The color combination and the new play on paisley gave the collection an uplifting note to the buttoned-up ladylike looks… not to mention— it sparkles!
To emulate this look, I used Orange Creamsicle by Avon and I Don’t Bite by OPI.
To get these ladyfingers:
1. Start with a full orange nail
2. Using a fine nail art brush, paint two rows of shapes with the tips going in the same direction
3. Apply 1-2 shapes in between your two rows with the tips facing the other direction
4. Using a dotter (or a bobby pin) fill the empty spaces between the shapes with a small dot
5. Top it off with top coat
