See the Coolest Manicures From New York Fashion Week

Never one to opt for a nude nail, Jeremy Scott's girls took the runway in oval-shaped talons with a sole polka-dot at the base of each. For this look, Miss Pop applied a base coat OPI's Infinite Shine in Wild Blue Yonder ($13; sallybeauty.com), then used a pencil eraser dipped in the That's Berry Daring tone ($10; ulta.com) to form the mega dot.

Manicurist Rita Renmark created a metallic ombre nail, with Essie's Good As Gold for the Base, and the plum-toned Sole Mate at the tip ($9 each; essie.com).

The white-tipped French mani look made somewhat of a comeback, with slanted lines to modernize the effect.

Another slanted French manicure took the runway at Cushnie et Ochs, with a super-long tip to boot.

A negative space half-moon created a striking contrast to the soft coral hue.

Lengthy nude talons were accented with super-thin stripes of color.

Lead manicurist Alicia Torello painted a gold triangle at the cuticle, then used her arsenal of OPI lacquers for a different hue on each tip.

Miss Pop, who led the team of manicurists backstage, chose colors from NCLA's Nudes collection ($16 each; shopncla.com) as the base hue, depending on the model's skintone. She topped off the effect with her So Fancy metallic nail decals ($16; tattify.com).

Lead manicurist Honey used an inky China Glaze lacquer to freehand abstract shapes onto bare nails.

The graphic color-blocked digits mirrored the varied patterns throughout the collection.

Lead manicurist Gina Edwards used the Kiss Nail Artist striping lacquers ($7 for three; walmart.com) to paint a graphic black and white pattern on a vivid blue base.

Lead manicurist Madeline Poole created a brushed metal effect on a crisp white base by applying Sally Hansen's Let's Snow, followed by the Gilty Party shade ($7 each; target.com) over the top, swept on in light strokes.

Each of Libertine's girls took the runway in different sets of bold manicures by CND Design Lab Team's artists, with this model—who is giving off slight Taylor Swift vibes in our book—wearing two effects at once.

A second set of nails created by CND Design Lab Team's artists featured a marijuana leaf, framed by a tassel and a bold red stripe.

Using Essie's Go Go Geisha in tandem with the red Maki Me Happy hue ($9 each; essie.com), Michelle Saunders created a color-blocked French pattern, which got reversed on the ring finger.

Designers Laura Kim and Fernando Garcia wanted the nails to look as if they had been dipped in petroleum, prompting lead manicurist Madeline Poole to paint up a faded grey effect on a nude nail. She began with a layer of Sally Hansen's Au Nature-al, then concentrated the slate-toned Commander in Chic ($7 each; target.com) at the tip.
