5 Backstage Beauty Lessons From DVF, Zac Posen, Derek Lam, and More:
By Allison P Davis
Throughout New York Fashion Week, we’re going behind the scenes to figure out what, exactly, a normal woman can learn from makeup artists, hair people, manicure experts, and models themselves. Sunday brought an overwhelming barrage of insider tips and backstage observations from Lela Rose, Hood by Air, Derek Lam, Zac Posen, Opening Ceremony, DVF, and Band of Outsiders. Below, our newfound wisdom.
Creatures of Comfort’s gold-leaf manicures are easier to create than they look. Alicia Torello designed an opulent manicure for Creatures of Comfort — a simple nail decorated with random pieces of gold leaf to match the collection’s fabrics. Surprisingly, it’s quite cheap and easy to replicate: Start by using any base coat you want (like a clear nail polish, although Torello used a triple coat of Del Sol’s Spectrachrome color-changing polish in snow white). Then rip up a piece of gold leaf (available at any craft store), and press pieces on the nails. Let it sit for a minute and then finish with a thick top coat, like Seche Vite; don’t forget to also seal the tip of the nail. DIY goldfingers!
