Paint By Catwalk - Autumn/Winter 2012-13 Nails
THE autumn/winter 2012-13's shows offered up a whole host of fabulous fashion ideas, with deep, autumnal hues, glittering embellishment and sumptuous textures all vying for pole position on the catwalk. But, for a simple way to tap into the trends, we've matched some of the season's most stylish pieces with the nail polishes which best translate their impact - albeit on a smaller scale. In love with Roberto Cavalli's high-shine metallic snakeskin? Topshop's Moonshine polish is just the shimmering shade. Or coveting Jil Sander's oversized pastel coat? Essie's It's In The Bag is the same hue, bottled. This is how to reference the season's catwalk trends, but at a significantly lower price point.
