Jason Wu Nail Polish Collection by CND

i always love the details that go into putting the finishing touches on the ensembles presented during fashion shows. of course, drooling over the clothes is a given, but sometimes i just have to know what nail color the models are wearing and who designed the shoes and accessories, if not the designer.

for Jason Wu's spring 2011 runway show, i was excited to discover that another color was created exclusively for the runway by CND, and will also be part of a new polish collection! the Jason Wu Nail Colour & Effects Collection will be the designer's first beauty endeavor and CND's first direct partnership with a designer.

"every season i play with different ways of using color in my collection, so it was a natural choice to collaborate with CND on a capsule of nail colors that reflects my aesthetics," the designer told WWD.

these shades will be limited edition and available may 2011. the stylish palette features four staple colors: Miss Wu (a limestone gray), Brigitte (a dirty rose), Veronica (a blood red, pictured below on model), and Sophia (a dark mushroom). also part of this collection is an effect topcoat, named Anna, that contains silk fragments to provide depth.




tell me: is this a polish collection you'll be interested in purchasing for yourself?

Jason Wu Fall 2009

Jason Wu wowed the crowd with his stunning fall collection. i assume there was a high level of anticipation coming off the attention he got from the gown he designed that was worn by Michelle Obama to the inaugural balls.





inspired by fairytales, Wu focused a lot on dresses, and his color palette of soft greys, shades of blue and pops of yellow was gorgeous.






another stunning collection from Jason Wu, i have to say. i look forward to seeing more from this fabulous young designer in seasons to come.
