Images Kate Spade New York Nails!

I love the Kate Spade New York Spring Summer collection, which debuted in New York last September, bursting with popping colour, cutesy gingham prints and retro accessories.

What drew my attention to the collection was the pretty gingham nail art by Deborah Lippmann which mirrored the cute gingham prints of the collection.
I loved the retro feel and the fun and frivolity that the whole collection seemed to exude and I wanted to capture this in my nail art designs.

However instead of copying Deborah's nail art I decided to draw inspiration from the collection, referencing the prints and the accessories in my nail art from some of the key looks of the collection.

I loved the details of the accessories such as the 'Taxi' little tag and the 'Pop' Ipad case which I translated into the details of my nail art.

It was so much fun creating this nail set and I feel that I captured the feel of the Kate Spade New York Spring Summer collection.

My favourite nail designs include the Taxi speech bubble, the yellow daisy print and the retro sunglasses.

I hope you enjoyed looking at them too.

Its fashion week madness in London at the moment and I cant help but get swept up in the excitement of the Autumn Winter 2013 shows.

So Ive complied my top nail art designs from the catwalks that I will be trying out later this year.

Jean Pierre Braganza showcased geometric nails to match the collection created by the Essie team using Essie 'Go Overboard' as the green nail colour and a geometric ring finger design. 

Vivienne Westwood collaborated with Nail Rock and called in designer Zoe Pocock to create an ombre berry shades, purposefully painting onto the fingers to give the effect that a child hand applied the nail polish - which matched the model's bold runway make - up.

Burberry kept things simple with beautiful berry hues - creating a sophisticated look to complement the simplicity of the iconic Burberry Trench.
 

At Kate Spade New York nails were punchy painted in either pink or black with a single gold stud. Simple but powerful. 

Whereas at House of Holland nails were painted with a beautiful tortoiseshell design by luxury nail artist Sophy Robson using Leighton Denny polishes. I'm looking forward to trying this design.

Tweet me your Fashion Week nail designs @chunails - I'd love to see them.
