Baby Phat – Gold foil on nails and Gold Chrome topped with Air Dry on toes for an exotic Moroccan-inspired look

BCBG, Costello Tagliapietra, Hervé Léger, and Max Azria – a beautiful, sand blasted look with two coats of Putty followed by Air Dry top coat
Behnaz Sarafpour – Bursts of rich, deep color with Dark Ruby or Asphalt to match ’40s inspired pieces

Carolina Herrera – One thin coat of Blackjack and a layer of Muddy Rose topped with Air Dry for a harmonious “Dusty Rose” shade paired with earthy pieces

Cushnie et Ochs – Two coats of Putty topped with two coats of Copper Shimmer for a metallic meets neutral futuristic spin
