CND at New York Fashion Week – Day 1 Giveaway
Thursday was the first official day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week and CND worked with designers Jenni Kayne, Irina Shabayeva and Wayne. The looks of the day were grown-up grunge, chocolate velvet, and textured tough.
From a multi-layered neutral to a mattified vamp to architectural nail art, there was quite a diverse range of nail styles to choose from. See which design was my fave of the day and win the products used to create it. |
At Wayne, Wanda Ruiz created a velvety chocolate manicure (that was good enough to eat!) using Raisin in the Sun topped with Super Matte. Paired with a wine-stained purple lip and pale matte makeup, crimped hair and urban armored silhouettes for a modern day Victorian look.
At Irina Shabayeva, Roxanne Valinoti created Sci-fi, Spanish influenced manicures with Fire & Ice contrast using texturized jet black and retro bright white shades.
For Jenni Kayne, Angi Wingle created a blushing taupe manicure using one coat of nude opaque Desert Suede, layered with Copper Shimmer, washed out with a coat of semi-sheer patina Rose Water and topped with Super Matte. This grown-up grunge nail accentuated poppy magenta lips and stick-straight locks.
Even though I’m not necessarily a neutral girl, something about the combination of colors at Jenni Kayne speaks to me. I think it’s the Copper Shimmer. It looks super flattering and is definitely a combo I want to try at home. Even though we’re talking fall fashions, wouldn’t it make for a fresh spring pedicure?
For your chance to win one bottle each of Desert Suede, Copper Shimmer, Rose Water and Super Matte leave a comment telling me your favorite look from Day 1 (you don’t have to agree to win).
Entries will be accepted until Midnight EST. Leave a comment and make sure you include your email address in the comment form, but not the actual body of the comment (for privacy reasons).

I’ve always been a fan of Jet black polish, so I’m going to have to say my favourite look it the first picture.
My favorite look was Day 1, chocolate velvet.
i really like the raisin in the sun matte look!
Wanda Ruiz created a velvety chocolate manicure is my favorite
I think my favorite is also the neutral palette, but probably because I’m so ready to be done with dark colors! This winter is actively trying to kill me!!
I think I like the sound of the last one, with the many layers of creme, sheerness, and glitteriness. I think I’ll try something like it with my stash
The Jenni Kayne was my favorite for sure!!! I have been trying to find a neutral look that is not dull, and this fits the bill!
I love the Wanda Ruiz look. Short nails in vampy colors are my favorite!
Is the giveaway open for international followers? I hope it is
i like the Irina Shabayeva look the best!
Oh, but I *do* agree! That is a gorgeous look, and one that would look good on short nails as well as on long.
enter me please
I’m excited to try out the super matte!
I love the look by Jenni kayne, I’ve never had the guts to try light, neutral polish (I think it ages my hands a bit, I
Jenni Kayne! There’s something about that pink color of her lips in the combination with her tips, that makes my heart go BOOM BOOM!
I’m not that into those kind of shades on the tips, but it looks great together.
Wow looks gorgeous!
I like the sci-fi look – it’s kinda cool for those special occasions!
I’m currently working on my mani for tonight – neonpink with nail art stickers in the shape of flowers. I’m going to a 80-s theme party!

I love the chocolatey manicure.
Jenni Kayne’s look is fresh, would love to use it on my toes!
fav has got to be the look for Jenni Kayne! absolutely gorgeous, even though i don’t usually like nudes!
I liked the last look best of all, I like nude polishes in general. Thanks for the giveaway =)
I really love the neutral look. You can really use this look all year but especially in the spring ?
Like you, I also usually shy away from neutral colors but there’s something about the copper shimmer taupe combo.
My favorite look was the chocolate manicure
I totally agree about neutrals…I’m not a fan. But I’m loving the neutral look @ Jenni Kayne.
I like the Wayne look the best. I think its the most versatile look up there!!
The third look for Jenni Kayne is definitely my favorite. For some unknown reason I have been straying into nude-nails territory for the past few months, its been a total turnaround from the bright colors I wore for years. And the problem now is my collection is FULL of brights and vampy colors but no natural colors… so my new obsession can only be enjoyed one natural-color purchase at a time!
Look #2 is my pick because it’s art, and over the top. This is the kind of look that inspires more modest interpretations for the rest of us.
Although I’m not a fan of nudes (for myself especially) I acutually like the Desert Suede/Copper Shimmer combination a lot!
I have the Copper Shimmer and Rose Water already… I’m gonna play around with some other combinations later on today
Not sure if it’s too late, but I *love* Angi Wingle’s blushing taupe manicure. I want to try that combination.
My fav would be the Wayne look. I love anything with shades of purple! Plus the crimped hair just brings back memories of the fun & funky 80′s!
i like the blushing taupe manicure best, i am already partial to copper shimmer, i love it over medium browns like Zoya Dea
My fav is the Chocolate manicure!
I usually go for the darker shades, but I definitely like the Jenni Kayne look the best. I think what tipped me to that look was the nail comination with the straight loose hair and those hot lips – does that color happen to be commercially available BTW? The nail color is not too white or too pink and looks lovely with the model’s pale skin. It’s a shade I can envision on me (I’m also pale with straight hair), and makes me actually want to try wearing a neutral!
I’m with you… I’m feeling the Desert Suede, layered with Copper Shimmer and I’m betting it looked even better in person.
I’m shocked, but I’m loving the blushing taupe mani! It doesn’t look washed out at all. Very nice!
I love the Wanda Ruiz creation
It’s so pretty. Lately I’ve been into dark short nails. I have no idea why cause you can tell when the have bad chips but I love the look 
Have Fun at FW
Raisin in the Sun w/ Matte. Guess I’m still stuck on dark colors. Spring, hurry the hell up!
I am obsessed with the Wayne look – though that could be my inner chocoholic taking over. I’ve always loved dark brown nails, and the models look so gorgeous and fresh faced!
I am torn between the neutral and the chocolates. I can see myself wearing both styles, but I think I am leaning more towards the neutral right now. Thank you for sharing these combos.

I love the raisin in the sun with super matte. I’m a sucker for dark colors!!
That first one looks so gorgeous! I love the near-black of it. Of course, now I’m hungry and craving chocolate…
I like the Wayne look the best. I always like dark manicures and the brown gives it a different look than all the black/purple/navy versions.
I like the one with for Jenni Kayne, it looks sophisticated and chic.
I looooove the Jenni Kayne look! Natural, without being boring.
“Copper Shimmer” – what a gorgeous neutral! Can’t wait to try it
Loving the vampy dark chocolate look. And the nude make up just makes the nails pop even more!
I also loved the Jenni Kayne look; i think that would be a totally hot spring/summer pedicure. LOVE IT!
I like the copper shimmer too. It’s an office-appropriate mani that will still make you feel chic.
Thanks Michelle! These look beautiful & I hope to win!!! I love the third look using a neutral.
I love the Jenni Kayne look…x))
I’d have to go with the Wayne look. I’ve been really into the dark polishes recently. It’s such a nice contrast with the neutral make up, it really pops the nail color.
My favorite by far is copper shimmer! I just love how it’s almost completely neutral on the skin, but still has this warming effect against it! it’s beautiful and gives me hope that spring may be coming soon (hopefully. LOL)!
I know that I don
I know I am in the minorty here, but I just love a beautiful neutral nail.
OMG! Raisin in the sun with Super Matte is soooo gorgeous!
The chocolate.
Ooh – I love the combo of colors for Jenni Kayne. Subtle enough to be work-appropriate, but not boring at all!
What can I say, I just love these colors. They are
a perfect collection to have and kick off Spring!
I agree with you — I love the standout neutral at Jenni Kayne
I LOVE the matte Raisin in the Sun most, though the Jenni Kayne combo is gorgeous and interesting.
I agree that the natural look is my favorite. I’m curious as to how it would look next to a darker skin-tone. Overall, Day 1 looked great!
That velvety chocolate manicure from Wayne is my favorite!
I agree with you. My favorite is DEFINITELY the Jenni Kayne look- both the nails and makeup. It’s really elegant and understated but still very pretty. I like the Wayne look, too, but I like that the Jenni Kayne look is very wearable for a couple of seasons. The chocolate nails are very fall/winter to me (and I know it’s supposed to be a fall/winter look but I’m not in that frame of mind right now :P).
I love the Jenni Kayne combination!!
love that neutral look from Jenni Kayne. its kind of refreshing to see the neutrals when there’s been so much bold colors lately!
I also love the Jenni Kayne look. So pretty.
loving the desert suede
They are all so beautiful! I’m a new polisher (having bit my nails for 30ish yrs this is so exciting). I wear loads of browns lately and was just thinking I need something that would go nicely with that… but then the neutral is so rich. Lovely!
Never thought I’d say this but I think I like the third look the best. The lips just pop!
I love the jenny kayne one. It looks really natural and pretty!
My favorite would have to be the neutral look… I think it looks great!
I love the first look. It reminds me of the movie sleepy hollow.
i liked the velvety chocolate manicure.
I’m going through a HUGE nude/natural phase right now, so of course Jenni Kayne’s my favourite!
The third look from Jenni Kayne, it’s so perfect for spring, it’s neutral yet certainly not boring and I definitely want to try it at home, I love it!
I must be craving spring right now because I’m loving the neutral look from Jenni Kayne.
I actually like the third look the best, it looks fresh, clean and spring-like.
I love look #1 the chocolate one!!
I love the Jenni Kayne color! That’s more layers than I can usually handle doing for myself, but if I were to have them all in front of me, I think I could manage!
I’m digging the Jenni Kayne right now but I think it might have to do with the copper pairing with the ultra pink matte lips.
I like the Jenni Kayne look best. The contrast between the muted nails and wild lips is an interesting touch!
I’ve been on the neutral nail kick lately. I think nothing is chicer, so the Jenny Kayne look is a winner in my book, too.
My favourite is Jenny Kayne’s! It’s so pretty!
The nude look by Angie Wingle catches my eye even more than the other two looks. That says something, since it’s a nude. Really nice and I love that the look is achieved by layering 4 different polishes.
My favourite is the chocolate manicure.
i love the jenni kayne nude look!
I like the Wayne look. I’m partial to vampy, dark nail polish.
I like the black and white one the best. It’s clean, and edgy
I actually like the Jenni Kayne look too! I never wear neutrals like that, but I like that combo. I also like that it is on short nails. It looks chic that way.
Jenni Kayne, definetly. I love pale opaque nails. I am also in love with the magenta lipstick, I hoope that look translates well off the runway this spring. I will be rocking it.
i totally love the look at Jenni Kayne! i love neutrals, and this combination is just so pretty
I adore the third look, it’s definitely my favourite! I love the combination with the bright lipstick. Besides, her nails look like a nude nailpolish I own and love myself. Plus, I also wear that one pretty often, so it’s definitely one of my go-to looks considering my manicure..
I liked the Sci-fi, Spanish influenced manicures with Fire & Ice contrast using texturized jet black and retro bright white shades.
i love look number three. i’m not usually a huge fan of nudes, but this one is just so perfect!
I love the first look, for Wayne. I’m just really into dark nails and I like the contrast with the very light, subtle makeup.
love the raisin look. I’m a little old fashioned I guess because I really like nails with color no matter what the trend!
The first look is absolutely my favorite. It’s gorgeous!
I love the first look – so dramatic!
I like the Jenni Kayne the most too! I feel like the dark, vampy look is done so many times that it’s just not as unique now. Even though the nail art trend is huge right, I’m not a huge fan of the talon look that fasion is falling over. The last look is creative twist on nude and is refreshing!
I am liking #3.
The nude one is uber-chic! I love the idea of matte top coat over neutral nail polish!
I quite like the last look
Like you, my favorite is definitely the one from Jenni Kayne. It’s so slightly off from being mannequin hands that I’m totally drawn to it. While I’m a huge fan of bold nails, subtlety is gorgeous, too!
The Jenni Kayne look is my favorite!
I agree, I really love the neutral look… probably the awesome photography helped it!
Normally I’d be drawn to the chocolatey colours… but I actually really like the Jenni Kayne neutral nails! I think it may be the way it blends so well with that model’s skin colour. Her colouring actually looks similar to mine, so I think this is definitely something I need to try out!
I love the third one! So clean and fresh!
The Jenni Kayne look is definitely my favorite by far, I’ve been really interested in neutrals lately so I guess that’s why.. and those lips! Swooning over here.
The Jenni Kayne combo is the winner in my book. I’ve never seen neutral look so exciting.
I am LOVING Jenni Kayne’s look. I’m not big on neutrals most of the time but it looks fantastic paired with that bold lip colour, and the two colours are super flattering on her.
My fave is the chocolate!
I must say I’m digging the nude matte look of number three
Even though look two is definitely more artsy.
I love the neutral. simple and clean.
I’m surprising myself as well and loving the clean, fresh look at Jenni Kayne. Would be sublime with a hot pink pedi like the lip color it was paired with (Nars Schiap, perhaps?) or a bright coral-y red like Essie Silken Cord (which I’m wearing with a CG Pelican Gray mani right now and loving!).
I LOOOOOVE the Jenni Kayne look! And there is something about that matte, fuchsia lipstick that is just stunning!
Love the Blushing Taupe look. For a neutral it’s warmness is so versatile that it would look great for any season! Love!
Paz
I’ve got to go with number 3, Jenni Kayne with those gorgeous Desert Suede and Copper Shimmer nails. It’s a lovely nude but with enough of a peachy/pink combo to be original. I’m so digging those colors! Right now I’m sick of Winter and snow so I’m boycotting my dark polishes in protest! Bring on Spring and perky manis for now. When April rolls around I’m sure I’ll be back to Mismas and Wicked. There really are no seasonal rules for nail colors anymore, in my opinion. Have a blast at Fashion Week!
Look 1 for me.
I love the Copper Shimmer- one of my favorite looks is neutrals with a little shimmer to make it interesting!
I like all three, just depends on my mood for which one I would pick on a given day.
definitely feeling that Spanish inspired manicure! loving dark shades right now but sometimes it’s nice to change it up and go neutral too!
I have to agree with you! the look at Jenni Kayne was definitely my favorite of the three- i like the soft makeup with the bright lip, and the neutral nails. I’ve really been wanting a good neutral polish lately, so i’ve been drawn to lighter colors as a side effect of that haha! And like poster Regina above me, i was curious as to if they kept the same polish for darker skin tones, or if they polished each model’s nails according to her skin tone so each model had a nice nude nail look.
Definitely the Wanda Ruiz for Wayne look. Darks are my thing!
i’m a fan of the neutral manicure too even though i usually prefer colors. i think i’m just sick of the winter and the dark manicures remind me of the cold….
I love love love the look at Wayne!
Angi Wingle’s taupe look is really beautiful. I agree this would be perfect for spring!
i love the neutral one too! I usually hate when it looks like someone doesn’t have nails because they blend in with your skin tone but i love this look! Enter me!
I think my favorite is the look from Irina Shabayeva; it’s eccentric and over the top – although the other two are more wearable for the everyday gal, I can’t help but fall in love with the flair of the fashion world!
I love the neutral nail. I wish I could find a color that suited me for a look like that.
oooohhh, whatever that middle look is with the nail art..
I gotta go for the first one, I love darks and chocolate, it’s beautiful!
I love the Jenni Kayne look very much but I could never think of the combo! Great work CND!
I am totally in LOVE with the copper neutral look. I am so glad you got the info on how to achieve it! Thanks for always being on top of the nail trends! =)
The Irina Shabeyeva look is my favorite! It’s so runway appropriate. I’d probably wear this look in a much shorter version.
The Natural look is really decent, I’d love to have such a color that suits my skin.
I love the Jenni Kayne look. I am all about a neutral manicure (pedis can go wild). The color looks really wearable and the idea of shimmer in it puts it over the top for me. I love the sneak peeks you give us – thanks!
I like the natural look the best – the rest are just too gaudy for me.
Hands down velvety chocolate manicure was my fav! Huge fan of the name as well!
I would love to see another picture of the blushing taupe manicure. Maybe another angle?
Blushing taupe!
I am adoring all the nudes right now. Ready to put away the dark stuff.. I have to say I love what Angi did for Jenni Kayne, it’s a beautiful combination!
I would usually pick the darker shade, but there’s just something about that taupe! I love it. I’ve got similar coloring to the model, and I love how it looks on her.
The third one is gorgeous! I am really loving nudes right now, which is totally weird for me since I usually love darker colors!
The third look, I love the way shimmer looks under a matte topcoat. Jenni Kayne’s look is awesome.
I love Jennie Kayne’s look! I think it’s a great spring look.
I like the third look. There’s something about nude nails and a bright lip. It catches your attention but it’s not over-the-top.
I love the first and 3rd looks, but I think the nude nails is my favorite!
I love the nude nails. Always classy!
I really like the neutral Jenni Kayne look. I know it’s sort of passe, but I’ve really been wanting to try the mannequin hand look!
I’m a sucker for dark nail polishes so I’m definitely lusting after the chocolate colors!
I loved the third look from Jenni Kayne it was stunning!
Thanks for the giveaway!
my favorite look is definitely the third one. it’s natural and elegant
Sweet! I wish I could see the ice & fire nails up close…although personally I’d go with raisin in the sun anyday…:)
The third look appeals to me the most.
Maybe because it looks like something I could pull off!
I’m a fan of the look at Jenni Kayne. I’m a fan of pinks and neutrals, boring as that sounds.
I like the Jenni Kayne look!
I’m digging look 1…I really like a color I can sink my teeth into, and chocolates do it fo me lol
loving e pale makeup paired with the chocolate nails at wayne’s!!
I really like the neutral taupe manicure. I usually wear much darker and less subtle polishes, so that looks like a fresh change for me. I am not sure about the matte finish though…I haven’t gotten on board with that!
Look #1 is my favorite, though I will say that look #3 may change my low opinion of nudes!
I love the neutral look! I like a good nude/neutral shade on my nails from time to time. But not as a pedicure.
Love the nude look. It’s more complex and artistic than your average Jill’s nude polish.
I wish we had a better view of the Irina show nails – I love black and white so I think that might be my favorite!
My favorite look is the Jenni Kayne desert suede topped with Copper Shimmer, so gorgeous!
Matte Raisin in the Sun for sure – love the vamps, and it has the name of a classic book!
Love the Kayne look. The contrast of the polish to the lips is super fresh.
I wish there were better pictures of the nails for Irina’s show, but that combination of neutrals is really pretty.
The third look is my favorite. But, I also saw a look on another site (by CND) that was blood red with gold smile lines – pretty amazing!
I’m loving the raisin w/ matte look – but there is definitely something special about the copper shimmer.
I just love that chocolate manicure. Altought the contrast to the victorian look gives the girl a creepy look to the nail. Chocolate it the right color for those beatiful gils.
It would be the 2nd one, Irina Shabayeva =) x
the third look is deff my favorite overall, i do like the nails in the second look tho.
The neutral look is so pretty and looks like it would be so flattering on so many skin tones!
I love the nude look! It’s seriously gorgeous in its elegance! The second photo looks promising too, but I can’t quite see the nails properly. It sounds very pretty though!
I love the third neutral look…totally way better than the Samoan Sand I slap on when I’m bored (and then curse loudly because the coverage is terrible! :P).
I love the Sci-Fi look! I love how creative and different it is!
I love that chocolate mani! Edgy and fun and very anti-spring and summer…which I love…pastels are just too predictable!
Look #2 isn’t getting enough love! Catwalk fashions deserve equally fantastical nails. I vote for the embellished black & white manicure at Irina.
The look for Jenni Kayne!!! The nude nails really accentuates the fun poppy magenta lips.
It’s the Wayne look for me… I do love to look at a neutral but they just don’t work for me, so the Wayne look is one that I would definitely wear!
I think the first, matte Raisin in the Sun, is my favorite. Chocolate? This time of year? Delicious! I like the nude look of the last one, though, I’ve always been kind of intrigued by that look.
Oh definatly the third look. I love the makeup and everything and I’m a sucker for neutral looks.
I know you said we don’t have to agree with you, but I’m liking the nude look best, too. After all the greys and darks of winter it looks so fresh!
The CND neutrals are lovely. I like the nude-but-not-pink look, which gets color depth from the layered shades. My fave!
The first look! Loving the dark rich colors.
I like the third look the best, but I’m a neutral girl through-and-through. It’s really interesting paired with that super-pink lipstick, though!
I like Jenni’s look the best, i love how everything pretty neutral then the lips gives it a gorgeous pop of color!
The third one, definitely.
I love the bright lips + nude nails. (yes, I DO match my makeup with my nails LOL)
I really like the one at Jenni Kayne too!
I wish we could see better pictures of the second picture’s manicure. Because we can’t, I’d say the nude look in picture 3.
oh I am just eating up all thw #nyfw fun! I keep searching the hashtag on twitter and reading reading! Thank you for the pics and contest! I’m in heaven! The first look is my fav! The raisin nail with the wine stained lip! GORGEOUS! You lucky girl to be there! more nail fashion tweets and pics please!
I love the vampy look of the Wayne manicure.
The third look is absolutely my favorite! I love nude nails, but usually i chose a nude with a bit more shimmer. This flatter color looks absolutely fantastic! I would love to try it out.
I love the neutrals!! thanks for sharing!
Love love love it all
I love look #1! A mix of chocolate (nails) and wine (lips)…I couldn’t think of a better combination!
I really like the first dark looks… ;o)
I’d say number 3 as well, I love those almost but not quite the same as your skin colours!
I LOVE the Jenni Kayne look. I think it would be a pretty spring manicure too, rather than a fall.
I am loving the third look!
AHh! loving that desert sun color in the bottle. Wonder what it looks like on the nail. I really want to try CND…:)
I like the Raisin in the Sun the best. I used to wear a similar color to that in high school before it was truly a done thing and everyone always loved it. I thought it was because of my darker skin, but it’s turned out to be a bit of a classic now for everyone. I also like the Desert Suede combo. Looks good on the model, not sure how it would look on me, though.
I’m with you, that’s a fantastic twist on mannequin hands.
I like the Jenni Kayne neutral simply because I love the contrast with the hot pink lip.
I like the architectural look with the white the best. I know it’s something I’d feel awkward wearing but I love seeing it on other people’s hands.
I’m loving the nude copper shimmer look!
I like the nude with the hot pink lips. Thanks!
The Jenni Kayne look is also my favorite – clean and collected with just a bit of freshness and edge. Love it!
My fave is definitely the Jenni Kayne, which is odd because I don’t typically like neutrals!
The Jenni Kayne look is something I would wear on my toes for Spring as well as my hands. Of course once Summer hits, it’s color time!
Wayne. Love dark colors, love purple, and love victorian. Win win win.
I like look #3. I’m typically drawn to neutrals either, but I really like it!
I vote for the second one. Although I can’t see the manicure that well on the picture, the description is very interesting.
they are all so great but I really like raisin in the sun with super matte. I’ve been into dark, short, matte nails lately. I think it’s these cold dark winter months.
From what I can see in the picture, the looks at Irina Shabayeva look amazing! Love that contrast.
I like the last one, out of the three.
neutral look;)
I’m not a neutral nail kind of girl, but I really liked the Jenni Kayne look, it’s very pretty.
Look #1! I seriously heart dark nails.
Hmm this is tricky, but I think I like Jenni Kayne the most, it just looks so soft and dainty, I would definitely want to try these!
I like the last one. The lip color did it for me.
awesome giveaway!! the colors are awesome. and all the nail looks are so cute!!
I’m definitely digging Jenni Kayne’s nude shimmer there. It’s not totally nude and just enough shimmer. Looks very classy. I also dig the bright lipstick.
Definitely the first look although I wish we can look closer at the nails.
Raisin in the sun topped with Super Matte is BEAUTIFUL! I love dark colors with a twist.
I like the first look the best, just because I love dark nails.
Look #3-I’m definitely a neutrals girl
I love the nude look, I’ve been looking for a nail look that’s nude without being washed out and that one is awesome! It looks classy and understated.
I’m loving the last neutral look
The lipstick also has a great “Pop!”
I love the nude mani with bright lips combination!
I love the Nude Shimmer look!
The Wayne look – neutral is not for me.
I love the last look the best, the nude with layered copper shimmer. (After a winter of vampy and glittery brights I’m looking forward to a light and neutral Spring.)
I love the nude look!
velvet chocolate!! so pretty.
Neutrals are always my fave!
I like the copper shimmer. I love it!
I like the first one!
I like a neutrals so I think my fave is the Jenni Kayne look, it seems more of a spring look (maybe it’s the pink lip…) but I’m loving that combo of nude nails and the pop of color for the lips…I’d use that in the spring more then fall
I love the chocolate velvetly manicure the best!
Yeah, I like the neutral
I agree – loving Jenni Kayne. I love neutrals, and the lipstick is gorgeous! It really stands out!
I love look #3. It is so classy and elegant perfect for everyday.
Look #1 for sure.
I love the neutral look, but I’m also a huuuge fan of neutrals. I bet the layering looks even more stunning in real life
I definitely like the first look the best!
i lovee neutral nails, the last one is definitely my favorite
I can’t believe I’m saying, but the neutral is currently looking a lot more fun to me than the other two traditionally “risky” nails. It reminds me of Emma Stone’s understated, yet fresh, Golden Globe dress. Although I love my cold-toned gray neutrals, there is something about the warm-toned neutral that is flirting with boring-old-pink that is totally exciting me!
I like the last one sounds interesting but can’t really tell from the picture
Awesome! Love the look on Jenni Kayne, very clean, and the lip color makes it pop.
LOVE the look at Jenni Kayne!!
Jenni Kayne!
#3 Kayne
the look is nice & balanced, not over-(or under- for that matter) done
The nude look is very nice and very creative, love the layering!
I like look from Jenni Kayne…
I like Valinoti!
Wayne is my favorite. Raisin in the Sun is a beautiful color.
I like #2, it’s bold but also simple. Also reminds me a little bit of Japanese nail art.
Is there a dead-on picture of the second one? All I can tell from the side is that it’s got a lot of height to it.
i love the jenni kaye nails! and that lipstick is lovely too.
I definitely prefer the Jenni Kayne too! I love interesting nude nails.
I’m really intrigued by the Irina Shabayeva, want to see more! It’s definitely the one that’s got me the most excited.
Raisin in the sun is to die for ! love it.
I like the Wayne look. I love dark nails, plus the modern day Victorian things is cool.
The Jenni Kayne is definitely my favorite here.
I also like look #3 from Jenni Kayne. Desert Suede is so pretty!
I REALLY LOVE THE NUDE LOOK! Valinoti’s a little too over the top for me.
i definitely am loving the jenni kayne look! really is a grownup grunge-neutral and pretty with an edge.
I love both the neutral and the chocolate colors. As a pale girl I like a bold nail!
the look at Irina Shabayeva is more particular…
Loving the nude nails in the last photo. So simple, so chic!
I love the Irina Shabayeva, I love texture on nails though I’m not so good at doing them myself.
I love the Wayne look. I’m a very pale girl, so I think I could rock this look.
Love the matte Rosewater look!
My favorite is Raisin in the Sun topped with Super Matte at Wayne.
I love the nude color look on nails. I never thought I would but it looks lovely and elegant!
I like the look at Jenni Kayne; it’s fresh and girly and makes me look forward to Spring!
So pretty.
I’ve been on nude streak but this is add entirely new depth to what can be a very flat look. Love the name Desert Suede too!!
I like Jenni Kayne’s take.
I love the Jenni Kayne look!! I’m with you about not being a neutral girl, but I love how that color combo looks. I haven’t tried much layering yet, but I am willing to learn for that look
Def Jenni Kayne, its my favorite.
The Wayne look rocks!
Im thinking look #3, a really great everyday look for the office with a bit of omph and sparkle so its not flat out boring.
I think I like the first look from Wanda Ruiz best; I love a chic dark matte nail for fall/winter.
I like #3 ,Kayne look, is so sweet
I like Jenni Kayne!
I like the Roxanne Valinoti.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I like Valinoti!
My favorite is the raisin in the sun look. It looks so rich in color.
I really like the neutrals from Jenni Kayne!
I love the neutral look. Just a little pink goes with the gorgeous lips, but doesn’t overpower them! I don’t have any CND yet in my collection so my fingers are crossed
The Jenni Kayne nails for sure.
I definitely am a neutral girl and the Jenni Kayne look sings to me!
very cute! would love to try these!
The Jenni Kane look is my favorite. It would be perfect for my office but also cute for a night out. I’ve never experimented with layering colors but I might have to start. Thanks for the great giveaway
I really like the victorian look by Wanda Ruiz. Looks great.
I am SHOCKED how in love I am with the Jenni Kayne look, but I have to have it!
I love the neutral look. It’s soft and pretty.
I actually had to think about this one. I love the crimped locks and dark polish look any day of the week. But when I scrolled down to the Jenni Kayne look, I went “wow”. The simplicity and beauty of it really struck me. Bright lips, neutral (but certainly not “blah”) nails? Yes, please!
Jenni Kayne is my favourite because i love neutrals!
Love the desert suede layered with Copper Shimmer.
I love the Jenni Kayne nude look!
The Jenni Kayne look is definitely my favorite!
Hands down, my favourite look is the Jenni Kayne! Something about that hot pink lip, combined with the fresh face and clean nail, just works for me.
the copper effect would be amazing over ANYTHING. i have put CND’s silver sparkle over all of my polishes. it adds so much depth!
forgot my fav look! that would have to be #1. i love anything vampy.
Love the nude layering look on Jenni.
#1 I think its a really great take on modern day victorian. Very sleek, stylish, yet simplistic. Totally love it!
I’m a big fan of the third look.
I love the Jenni Kayne look! Drool.
I like the chocolate Wayne manicure!
Oooh, I really like that nude look! But they’re all very nice!
ooh, definitely my favorite look here is #3 for Jenni Kayne. The nude is so subtle and pretty!
I like the look from Irina Shabayeva. It’s different – not exactly work safe. I like that it’s creative.
I love the last combo. I haven’t ever really owned a pretty nude and I think that combo is spot-on!
I really enjoy Jenni Kayne’s look for her show. The nail is not over-powering, yet complimentary. Also, I love the lipstick!
Jenni Kayne, definitely. I love how the neutrals in her nails, skin, and hair are all in the same warm, caramel-and-creme family and really make her eyes and lips pop.
The combo at Jenni Kayne is amazing! Would love to recreate this look.
I like the third one too. Nudes are always nice!
the first look, from Wanda Ruiz
Raisin in the Sun topped with Super Matte
Love the natural look..
#1 I just love dark nails.
I’m loving the Jenni Kayne, too. Love the look of those nails with the contrast of the lips! Totally my style.
I love the chocolate brown used for the Wayne show!
#2 Is def my fave!
I have to go with Jenni Kayne,even though I am not much of a neutral girl and it seems like a lot of work. It does look pretty!
I love the Fire and Ice look, it makes me think of Chicana style in California, so glam and chic.
If I duplicate my comment here I apologize. I just don’t see mine, and I just wanted to put in my entry and say how much I like the Jenni Kayne look. The nude polish and the bright lipstick I think look the best of any of them.
I like the Irina Shabayeva look the most! Even though I myself can’t pull off nail art, I love looking at it!
I like the neutrals too! I’ve been trying to do more neutral and natural makeup myself lately and would love to have a nail color to go with it.
That neutral is just perfect!
I definitely like the nude look!
I love the third look. I’m not normally one to love nude polish but the combination of the 4 polishes is absolutely gorgeous. Love it.
Love the neutral. I tend to use neutrals as a sort of palate clenser. After I wear a lot of bright colors for a while a nice fresh neutral is great.
I’m not usually a nude girl either, but that color looks perfect on her! I’ve been trying to get more work-appropriate colors – I wear what I want, but sometimes when I have a meeting with a higher-up person, I feel guilty, so those neutrals are calling my name!
I like the first picture. The color adds to the not freshly dead look of the models, completing the zombie look.
love the jenni kayne look!! its such a beautiful neutral.
Jenni Kanye has a really good look. I like your description…grown up grunge!
I loved the Desert Suede look!
I love the matte Raisin look from Wayne! But the nude combo is really beautiful. Thanks for the contest!
definitely #1, i love vampy colours!
love the dark look in #1, I’m all about dark nails this month
Absolutely look #1! Love, love, love anything dramatic
I think I like the purple best- that dark vampy color provided a cool contrast. Neat looking! (tho I really want to try that nude look too!)
I love all of them! I there was a better pic of Irina Shabayeva. Sci-fi/Spanish influenced manicure?? Cool!
I am not a nude girl either, but that look is actually quite beautiful – I would have chosen the Velvet Chocolate under normal circumstances, just in case you wonder
I’m loving the Jenni Kayne look. It’s really crisp and fresh, with just the right amount of drama on the lip. Very well done!
I like Jenni’s look the best!
I really love the first one – I’m into colours like this the last months
the first look from Wanda Ruiz!
I love the second look! For me it stands more out then the rest and i just like it!
Love the nude combe, beautiful
The chocolate nails are absolutely gorgeous!
I’m not a nude person either but I love the mix from the Jenni Kayne show. So fresh and simple!
Thank you for the pictures.
I liked the Jenni Kayne look. It was neutral-but-better.
Does anyone know the name and brand of the bright pink lip color shown in the last picture?
I love it!
The third one. It’s clean, fresh, and pretty– particularly on a short, squoval nail.
Definitely the Jenni Kaye look!
The Jenni Kayne look is my favourite !
I adore the Irina Shabayeva look with the white and black, a little too adventurous for everyday where, but I’m definitely gonna attempt a tamer version for a night out.
I totally agree – i never wear neutrals but could totally see the coppery pink working on a lot of skin tones and looking very fresh and clean.
I would have to say the 3rd one. Nice light for me.
I love the Jenni Kayne look!
I love the chocolate nails!
