ooops I tried to blog too quickly. Lea Michelle is definitely wearing Lady Sings the Blues (navy blue with silver sequins) not Lady is a Tramp (which is red). I removed the 'sequins' for this particular application -- you may not want to try this at home!
ahh the things we do for fashion!

Lea Michelle made the best dressed list everywhere! Here she is on the cover of WWD today wearing Lady is a Tramp -- navy blue on her nails and toes. Love her!

2010 emmys

Emmys weekend in LA was great. Gorg weather(it's been so hot and muggy in NYC this summer)made it easy for me to get from one location to another. Sometimes it's just the little things that make your day go smoothly.

My first client was Aussie nominee Rose Byrne. Totally low key super cool. I layered a coat of Fashion over Waking Up in Vegas to create a sort of modern muddy brownish gray.

Next stop with Lea Michelle from Glee. It was her bday so we toasted her and I sang a bluesy rendition of Happy Birthday to her. She was happy because no one sings TO HER she is always asked to sing to others. Lea was going to be wearing the navy Oscar de la Renta (the color of the night). She wanted to look modern so we chose my new Lady is a Tramp navy with silver 'sequins'. I applied two coats as is on her toes and for her nails I applied two very thin on her nails. Lea is on everyones best dressed list today!

Final stop was with the january Jones. We did a long 'Mad Men' almond shape tip and I used Dark Side of the Moon very aubergine nail color with her electric Blue Versace gown. January was the only great risk taker on the red carrot and I think she pulled it off beautifully. Her bed head hair was styled by my friend Mark Townsend. The hair had to look undone to make the look work. I must say January is breathtaking and a lot of fun!
Off to the airport to return to NYC and prep for fashion week.
