Couture Manicure

It's been a couple of weeks since my last manicure, and I'm feeling to give it a bit of an updated french couture manicure straight from Yves Saint Laurent's Fall/Winter 2010 "Rock & Baroque" collection. Yes, it's not completely up to date but I'm thinking this trend can carry on through many seasons to come.

To recap, the collection comprises of two YSL nail enamel colors and a special tip brush, which will then be used to create the french manicure. There are four color duo combinations, that can be interchanged as tip or base and transcend from day to night occasions.

The whole purpose is to take two unexpected colors, that may or may not be thought of to clash, and to make a statement with it. Mission accomplished.

The color collection are as follows:

Belle de Jour (Turquoise & Purple)

Rive Gauche (Orange & Fuschia)

Y-Cone (Pale Pink & White)

Belle de Nuit (Plum & Gold)

For my own manicure couture, I'm in between the Rive Gauche or the Belle de Nuit. Both attract the eye in different ways, one's more playful and another one's deeply mysterious. We'll have to see what the mood brings tomorrow. Will be posting pictures of the final results post manicure!
