Mani Monday: DIY Runway Nail Trends

For Spring 2012, manicures have become the ultimate accessory.  Designs go from neon infused psychodelic patterns to retro-inspired brights.

I love the textured look of this plaid design from the NYFW Nicole Miller Show -- "Mic Check Mani."  CND Colour polish in Raspberry Parfait and Inkwell/$9 at cnd.com.

Get the Look:  Paint on two coats of the pink polish.  After it's dry, use a thin detailing nail brush to paint a cross on your nail and fill two squares with the navy shade.
