This morning, I hit the Bryant Park tents early to cover backstage at Lela Rose Spring 2010.  On hand was nail guru Deborah Lippman of Lippman Collection, who created the nail look backstage, using her opaque nude Fashion for tips and toes.
Deborah was nice enough to chat with me for a few minutes about the Lela Rose look as well as some more general nail care tips. Check out the YouTube video below and let me know what you think!
