6 Mani Ideas Straight From Fashion Month

Talk about nail inspo.

White Strips
Love a nude nail? We do too. This mani, inspired by the Adeam show, proves that all it takes is a few diagonal stripes to transform a nude nail from simple to statement-worthy. FYI, a thin-tipped eyeliner brush makes it easy to paint on these kind of thin stripes and CND Vinylux Powder My Nose, $10.50 is a foolproof nude shade.

Poppy Print
We like to think of the manicures at the Jeremy Scott show as the beauty version of an ink-blot test: Do you see an animal print or a floral pattern? Either way, it's surprisingly easy to create, since the more random and messy, the better. Simply paint small squiggles all over your nails using a bright, vibrant shade. (Essie Play Date, $9 and Bachelorette Bash, $8.99 were used in the show.) Yep, it's that easy.

Negative Space
Sometimes less is more, as was the case at Tibi. It may look like a regular mani from far away, but look closely: the U-shaped negative space at the base of each nail makes for an interesting statement. Accent nails are back too, so use one color on four fingers and a complementary shade for the fifth, like the gray and lavender pairing seen here via JinSoon Grace, $18 and Birdie, $18.

Glittery Tips
Glittery nails are always fun but can sometimes feel like a bit much for everyday. Not the subdued iteration we saw at Cushnie et Ochs. A sheer pink, like Essie Skinny Dip, $9 makes the perfect base for glittery bronze tips (Essie Summit of Style, $9). Paint the sparkly shade across the tip of each nail, then turn the brush around so that the handle faces you and brush a small stroke down towards your cuticle, leaving a slight trail of glitter.
