Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: CND & Joanna Mastroianni Fall 2011

The Spectator manicure, created by CND's Angi Wingle, was the star of the show at Joanna Mastroianni. Using CND's Blackjack as a base, moons were created on each nail using Brilliant White, bordered with Silver Chrome. The nails completed the 60's influenced beauty look of sky-high French twists and fiery orange lips in a runway tribute to photographer Lillian Bassman.

Mischo Beauty Pick: SolarOil by CND

And since we're on the subject of nails, don't you just love having a go-to product that never lets you down? Well CND's SolarOil is just that for me, especially with the weather we've had lately. As you can see, I've hunted down every bottle I have because I'm pretty sure I'll need it all for this year's winter season.

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: CND & Diego Binetti Spring 2010

CND created the nail look for Diego Binetti's Spring 2010 runway show using the new Colour & Effects collection, which is a full spectrum palette of 50 new creme colours including sheer, semi-sheer and opaque neutrals, pinks, darks and brights from the whitest white to the blackest black. It also includes a collection of three chrome shades to round out the range.

The nail look for Diego Binetti mimicked a sunrise using CND's Studio White, Ivory Coast and Electric Orange (above photo), and Thai nights using CND's Inkwell, Ice Blue Shimmer and colorful rhinestone embellishments (top photo). The looks created are nothing less than AMAZING, and you must click here to see how they complemented the collection!

Mischo Beauty: CND Spring/Summer 2009

I'm not sure if you all remember my visiting the Creative Nail Design Studio during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2009. Well, as a follow-up, I was finally able to get my hands on a few shades from the Spring/Summer 2009 collection-beginning top row left: Wildfire, Decadence, Nail Noir, Bisou De Lulu, Moonlight & Roses, French Pink and Ice Cappuccino.

I'll admit that I'm partial to the "reds", with my favorite being Wildfire. But, the designer favorite nail color/look was CND's Cocoa ("opaque flesh tone shade used to elongate hands and match clean faces") , which was seen at Giambattista Valli, Nina Ricci, Araks, Max Azria, Jason Wu and Thakoon to list a few...

Mischo Beauty Covers Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week: Creative Nail Design & BCBG Max Azria Fall 2009/#NYFW

The nail look for BCBG, "ebonized jewel tones in sapphire and amethyst" was custom created for the runway show by a team of manicurists from Creative Nail Design (CND).

There's a special place in my heart for CND, as I was first trained to do nails using this brand- and since then, I've grown to love many of the brand's products.

CND's lead manicurists at the BCBG show, Cherie Pollard and Angie Wingle, used Stickey Base Coat, Speedy Top Coat, Solar Speed Spray and SolarOil to make sure the models' polish set quickly, didn't smudge, and the cuticles looked groomed and healthy.

For those of you who'd like to custom blend your own color- like the many colors created by CND for Fashion Week, GoIndulge.com will include a free mixing bottle with the purchase of the recipe colors. Use coupon code FWRecipe.
