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?

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!
