At New York Fashion Week, we saw a variety of nail colors. While many designers chose to use nude shades on their models, others went from bold, bright colors instead. Priti nail polish appeared on the runways of more than 15 different designers at Spring/Summer 2010 Fashion Week.

Thakoon went nude, creating an illusion that the nails were “an extension of the skin.” They used the shade Shirley Temple Peony and a applied a matte base coat over it. I have seen several women doing this at the nail salon as of late. Instead of a traditional clear top coat, they uses a base coat to tone down the color.
Carlos Miele also used the base coat on top trick but did it over two coats of the nude color – Chilean Bamboo. Donna Karan, Tommy Hilfiger and Philosophy di Alberta also stuck with the nude shades. Isaac Mizrahi used an opaque violet color Susan Azalea. He layered a coat of Shirley Temple Peony on the top, which created a purplish nude result.
Rachel Roy used Snapdragon (orange-red), while Devi Kroell got bold with vibrant magenta-berry.
Basically what I learned about nails by watching the runways is that pretty much anything goes for spring. Whether you prefer the subtlety of the nude and natural shades or want to make a statement with brights, they are all on trend for the spring season.
Priti nail polishes are completely non-toxic. They do not contain toluene, formaldehyde, and DBP’s. They are safe for mothers-to-be, kids and everyone else too!
