15 Years of Fashionable Fingertips

Regal on the Runway - CND's Fall 2011 Nail Trend Forecast

For 15 years, CND has created trend-setting manicures to perfectly accessorize designer visions on the catwalk. This season, CND worked with 22 designers including household names Jason Wu, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Carolina Herrera, Malandrino and Monique Lhuillier.

"This Fall, manicures are emerging in waves of rich jewel tones, earthy and worn shades, and comfortable colors - as cozy as a boyfriend's t-shirt," says CND Co-founder and Style Director, Jan Arnold.
Rugged & Raw
Manicures delve into the past...faded, traditional and textured in soft sandstone washes of color. A literal return to the roots. Nature takes back the urban landscape with earthen shades of muted brown, green and patina peach. Pair this grounded look with rugged leather, sediment shaded woven wear, tough denim and weathered knits. For the inky spectator nails from 3.1 Phillip Lim, use warm opaque Desert Suede and half circles of Midnight Sapphire. To get Monique Lhuillier's "Shady Lady" manicure, try Silver Chrome topped with Desert Suede, and iced with Dark Amethyst.

Cozy & Calm
Worn-in clothes evoke softness and worn-out colors, and provide an element of comfort and timelessness. Manicures are faded with muted iridescence blushing in vintage gold, peach, icy blue and green. Worn best with softened sateen sweaters, heirloom jacquards, Victorian buttons and pearls, and smoky sheers. Custom blended minty sage nails were sported at Costello Tagliapietra, and a hazy purple was mixed for Malandrino. For the blushing taupe nails from Jenni Kayne, use Desert Suede, layered with Copper Shimmer Effect, washed out with a coat of semi-sheer Rose Water and topped with Super Matte Top Coat. Achieve waistline-approved toffee brown nails from Isaac Mizrahi using Chocolate Milk mixed with 5 drops of Asphalt.

NEW! The Look: Fall 2011 box set of Midnight Sapphire and Dark Amethyst Colours and Sheer 24K Sparkle Effect is $29, available while supplies last starting in September 2011 at select salons and professional beauty supply stores. For additional information, please visit CND.com
