A collection described as “a hallucination jungle” definitely sparks some curiosity, especially when it refers to one by the King of the Wild himself, Carlos Miele. Whether you’re en route to a tropical Holiday destination or getting festive with your holiday manicure, take a walk on the wild side with some Carlos Miele Ladyfingers. No animal was left behind. There were zebra stripes, oversized giraffe prints, leopard, and tiger prints layered in chiffons to create a hallucinatory effect. Even more so because the prints were in hyped up hues like phosphorous blue, emerald greens, and glowing gold. Finding the perfect bright, bold polishes was easy with Maybelline New York’s 40-shade Color Show collection.
Thinking about next Fall may seem a little premature to those of you who aren’t familiar with the fashion industry schedule. To break it down, there’s Spring, Pre-Fall, Fall, and Resort. Right now designers are in the middle of showing Pre-Fall ’13 collections, and although they are a bit more commercial… I love them. They hint to color and fabric evolution and yet still provide styling inspiration (I’m looking at you Phillip Lim, le sigh). Not to mention that they’re applicable to today’s cold weather, holiday season, and obsession with layering. To demonstrate, this Moschino Cheap & Chic look from Pre-Fall couldn’t be more Holiday. So if you think about it, your holiday nails are so ahead of their time.
