Mmmm, New York Fashion Week, I love you. For anyone interested in fashion, this is like Christmas! Take this nail look that was done by celebrity nail technician Pattie Yankee and the Dashing Diva nail team for the Cushnie et Ochs show on September 9th at Lincoln Center. This is absolutely LUSH, and I think anyone could wear it: male, female, long nails or short. All you need is a powerhouse attitude!

Wondering how they created this look? Believe it or not, it's something you can achieve at home! All you need is a metallic nail foil and something to adhere it to your nails with. Simple instructions can be found all over the web, like at Transdesign.com's nail foil information. You can also search YouTube for nail foil tutorials, and you'll find a ton!

For those of you trying to get the most bang for your buck, I can't recommend Dollar Nail Art enough. I know lots of people who've shopped there with fantastic results, and everything on the site is one dollar! I know, that's nuts! Try classic in gold or silver, understated with pastels, or go wild with some of the crazier patterns! This stuff is tons of fun, and if you don't quite get it right the first time, keep trying. It gets easier!

Have you ever used a nail foil? What did you think of it? Would you do it again? Leave me a comment, and tell me all the details, I wanna hear more!

New York Fashion Week: Fashion's Night Out with Deborah Lippmann

Some days I'd like to be anywhere but here. I'd love to leave my boring life here and do something glamorous- visit New York during Fashion Week, hit up the shows of the hottest designers. I can see it all in my mind, my sleek hair and towering Christian Louboutins, the people, the shows...

Of course, then I remember I'm actually me, and those towering Louboutins would KILL me. I much prefer a pair of Docs, a ponytail, and some jeans. Still, wouldn't fashion week be something? Then I get this in my email...

New York Fashion Week is just around the corner. Can you believe it?! Kick off the week at Fashion’s Night Out on September 10, 2010 at Barney’s New York from 6-10 pm with fashion manicurist Deborah Lippmann.

Stop by New York City’s iconic department store on Madison Avenue (at East 59^th Street) and receive personal nail consultations with Deborah Lippmann. She can help select which colors are best for your skin tone and pick out shades for any occasion. She can also provide tips and tricks on how to find the right nail shape for you and how to give yourself a professional quality manicure at home.

Her new fall colors – Bad Romance, a GaGa blackened fuchsia, and Across The Universe, a blazing blue and metallic green glam in sheerest navy – will be on display for sampling and for purchase.

Wow. Would it be amazing to get to meet Deborah Lippman or what? Ahhh, excuse me while I get lost in my dreams of Fashion Week one  more time...
