Nail Art Inspired by DKNY Be Delicious

What do you think of my green half moon mani?  It was definitely a conversation starter! Since the new DKNY Be Delicious ad just came out (behind the scenes images from the photo shoot here), I was inspired by the fragrance and celebrated with nail art.  Think I captured it?  It's really easy to do at-home and check out my step-by-step photo tutorial. Step 1: Choose your base color.  Opt for a shade that matches your skin tone so it doesn't compete with your accent color.  Apply two coats.

Step 2: Using a thin brush, paint a half moon near your cuticle with your accent color.

Don't forget your bottom and top coat!  It's that easy though. Of course, I went and got it done because I always do, but can definitely see myself DIYing it next time.  Like what you see?  Check out the DKNY Facebook page for more of my nail art projects that were inspired by their fragrances.

DKNY Be Delicious Art Collection Inspired by Keith Haring, Plus Nail Art to Match

When I found out that DKNY Fragrances was launching a collection inspired by the 1980's New York based graffiti artist, Keith Haring, I couldn't wait to see the bottles for it couldn't be more fitting.  Capturing the energy of NY through scent and design, they're definitely collectables.  Inspired, I took to nail art to recreate some of Haring's work in celebration of the new collection. The collection is a twist on your favorite Be Delicious scents: DKNY Be Delicious Art, DKNY Fresh Blossom Art and DKNY Golden Delicious Art Inspired by Keith Haring and they're available in duty free shops worldwide.  For a store locator, check out the DKNY Fragrances Facebook page so you can pick one up when you travel.  They make great gifts, too.  

Having a piece of Keith Haring on my nails was a lot of fun and I got so many compliments!  What do you think?  Would you wear graffiti on your tips?  Check out the DKNY Facebook page to get the step-by-step how to.

Holiday Nail Art Inspired by DKNY Be Delicious Eau So Intense

Happy Holidays BeautySweetSpot readers!  Since my latest project with DKNY left my nails appropriately sparkling for the season, I thought it was a good time to fill you in on what I've been up to with the brand (see post on partnership).  My mission: to interpret their latest fragrances through nail art.  In honor of the holidays, I experimented with green first inspired by DKNY Be Delicious Eau So Intense.  Here's a look at the scent and how I captured it on my tips!

You may be familiar with DKNY Be Delicious, as it's been out for years and has a cult following thanks to the refreshing apple accord.  This newer fragrance that launched this summer, DKNY Be Delicious Eau So Intense, ups the ante as it's even juicier.  The apple note is simply intoxicating and is layered on top of other fresh notes like grapefruit and florals while dried down by woody notes like sandal wood.

When I spritz the fragrance I automatically receive an intense splash of energy.  Playing off of the apple accord and green packaging, green was the only color that could capture the freshness and vibrancy.  I decided to use sparkles instead of flat polish to up the intensity and created an ombre effect to showcase how a fragrance wears.

Want to replicate my look?  Check out the DKNY Fragrances Facebook page for an easy step-by-step guide.  Interested in creating your own version of nail art inspired by DKNY Be Delicious Eau So Intense?  We can't wait to see what you come up with!  Post your versions on their Facebook wall as well!

Announcing A New Partnership with DKNY Fragrances!

I'm completely honored and beyond excited to announce a new partnership with DKNY Fragrances!  It just made sense.  When I was approached by the brand a few months ago, could barely contain my excitement as the energy and passion DKNY gives off about NYC is identical to mine.  I've been a fan of the brand since before I even got into beauty editorial and wear Pure DKNY a Drop of Vanilla daily.  You guys, I'm dying.     The launch video announcing our partnership perfectly captures a day in my life.  Check it out!
