Those new Duo Nail Lacquers which will be available in a Special Limited Edition look absolutely fantastic. Yves Saint Laurent dresses nails in Couture colours, giving rise to the new French manicure trend. The collection includes following duos: Beautiful Day in purple and turquoise colours, Rive Gauche in red and pink hues, and Beautiful Night-a great combination of purple and gold (my favourite one)!

Spotted backstage at the Parkmoonchoo Fall 2011 show, this inky ombre manicure is a fresh way to wear dark nail polish this season — and getting the look couldn't be easier. You'll need three nail polishes: an opaque nude color, a super-dark hue, and a clear topcoat. Start by painting nails with the pale hue, and let dry completely. Next, paint a very thick layer of clear topcoat over the nude color. While the topcoat is still wet — and working one nail at a time — use short strokes and a heavily-loaded brush to dab the dark color just along the tip of the nail. It's all about creating a painterly effect here, so be sure to lay it on thick and don't worry about being too precise; the two polishes should run together to create a marbled effect. Let nails dry completely, clean up any mistakes around the nail with nail polish remover, and finish with another layer of clear topcoat.

 Fascinated by these lucite tips and delicate hand-painted lace design. Definitely a tough DIY project, but we presume this will popping up soon at a nail salon near you.
