And sure, we\u2019re a beauty magazine, so we\u2019re a little biased\u2014but the beauty side of NYFW deserves the same spotlight. This season, the trend leading that charge is \u201csunglass nails,\u201d shown by celebrity nail artist Miss Pop at Diane von Furstenberg\u2019s Spring\/Summer 2027 show.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">The nails themselves are long, almond-shaped and translucent, in soft washes of champagne, bronze and soft green. There\u2019s a faint shimmer to them, but it&#8217;s subtle (more glow than glitter), and the barely there color lets the natural nail show through underneath. Honestly, they\u2019re not all that different from clear glass nails and other similar-looking trends, but a catchy name always helps a look take off, and \u201csunglass nails\u201d is about as good as it gets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-segment\">\n<div class=\"two-column-layout flex flex-col gap-8 md:flex-row\">\n<div style=\"width:50%\">\n<div class=\"block-content\">\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/1c8ca7d80c959db59706cd77c80c6c6c63eb2986-1400x2400.jpg?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"2400\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\" style=\"text-align:center\"><sup class=\"text-xs\">essie<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"two-column-layout__right\" style=\"width:50%\">\n<div class=\"block-content\">\n<figure class=\"my-8 mx-auto max-w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/0vv8moc6\/newbeauty\/b2204b42aadae62bddf6cd5031608d91e7aab015-1400x2400.jpg?w=1200&amp;auto=format&amp;q=70\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"2400\" class=\"h-auto w-full rounded\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/figure>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\" style=\"text-align:center\"><sup class=\"text-xs\">essie<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Miss Pop acknowledges the similarities, but says the difference is in the details. \u201cWith the glass nail trend taking over, we wanted to give it a more sheer, modern twist,\u201d she says. \u201cUsing light layers of essie paired with the Special Effects line, the nails had a subtle pearlescent finish\u2014effortlessly cool like your favorite pair of sunglasses.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">\u201cI drew inspiration from the collection\u2019s rich browns, striking greens and sheer fabrics,\u201d Miss Pop continues. From there, she translated them into what she calls \u201cthe perfect complementary nail looks,\u201d using one essie shade for each of the three looks debuted on the catwalk: Baby Carats ($13), Cactus Jelly ($13) and Liquid Sunrise ($13)\u2014all of which happen to also be perfect for fall manicures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text-md mb-6 leading-relaxed text-gray-500\">Want to get the look at home? Lucky for us, it\u2019s very doable. To recreate look one, apply one even layer of Baby Carats to clean, prepped nails for that sheer, high-shine base. For look two, follow the same Baby Carats base, then add a second coat of Liquid Sunrise once it dries for a caramelized, pearlescent finish. Look three skips Baby Carats entirely: apply two light coats of Cactus Jelly instead for a soft, dimensional green. No matter which look you choose, finish with one layer of essie Gel Setter Top Coat ($11) to lock in the shine.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New York Fashion Week is, of course, known for its styl [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2988,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[55],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2987"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2987"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2987\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2988"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2987"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2987"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/nichebeaty.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2987"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
