Designer Mathieu Mirano is new to me, though I must admit that I'm digging the vibe he put on the runway this season, with sharp leather styles, fur and glittering dresses complemented by Christian Louboutin shoes (more here). As part of the beauty look, Miss Pop for essie created an edgy split nail of black and red using Licorice and allegedly, Bordeaux, though it's looking a bit brighter than Bordeaux in my experience. I digress. For me, this mani is best expressed as modernity meets the circus, and I like it - what say you?

NYFW Beauty Best: essie for Mathieu Mirano
NYFW Beauty Best: essie for Opening Ceremony
I'm remaining pretty immune at the moment to nail art seen on the runways this season. One of the ONLY exceptions to date are the sleek negative space manicures created by nail artist Naomi Yasuda for essie backstage at the Opening Ceremony Fall/Winter ’14 show this weekend. All told, there were three asymmetrical, diagonal designs that played well in rich green, blue and gray tones. Chic and architectural - I like!
NYFW Beauty Best: Jin Soon for Tess Giberson
Jin Soon is a quiet advocate (actually, she's not all that quiet about it, if we're being honest) of restrained nails, even for those of us who dabble in nail art. So, it's only fitting that yesterday, backstage at the Tess Giberson Fall/Winter 2014 presentation, she created the thoroughly modern French manicure seen above, using a forthcoming color from her collab with Giberson (a muted dark gray) and JinSoon Kookie White at the tips. While I've long considered a French mani passe, this is an iteration I can get behind - what say you?
Backstage Beauty #NYFW Fall '13: butter LONDON for ICB Prabal Gurung
butter LONDON’s Global Colour Ambassador, Katie Hughes, created the nail look for the ICB by Prabal Gurung F/W 2013 Collection. Inspired by art deco design elements and deco painters, the ICB girl is "multi-dimensional and always unpredictable", so Katie used butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in Chimney Sweep on the hands and finished the look with the Matte Finish Top Coat. She then used Kitten Heels Powder Finish Foot Crème on the feet and Chimney Sweep on the toes. “For this show, we selected a colour that was gritty yet chic. There was a lot of texture in the collection so we wanted a matte nail on the hands to complement the designs.” said Katie.
Backstage Beauty #NYFW Fall '13: NARS for Helmut Lang
Makeup Artist Hannah Murray for NARS Cosmetics created the simple, yet impactful look for the Fall 2013 Helmut Lang collection.
"This look is all about creamy, polished, gorgeous skin, with the strength coming from the eyebrows. The girls with dark hair have bold brows, while the blonde girls have muted ones. It's monochromatic, but I wanted the girls to feel real and beautiful.”

Backstage Beauty #NYFW Fall '13: Revlon for Lisa Perry
Revlon Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, captured designer Lisa Perry’s vision of a modern girl’s take on the popular mod look of the 60’s, to complement the bright and vibrant designs of the designer’s Fall ’13 collection.
“I focused on the eyes and went for something retro. To make it a bit more contemporary and modern I opted for bright colored liners in blues and purples, rather than black and added shadow on top for an extra pop. I kept the skin simple and natural and created subtle freckles on the nose with a nude pencil,' says Westman. To get the look:
