Sunglass Nails on DVF Runway My Favorite Fall Manicure Trend
Henry Zankov’s recent appointment as the creative director for Diane Von Furstenberg’s Spring/Summer ‘27 collection brought with it more than just flowing fabrics and gorgeous prints—it sparked an unexpected, fabulous trend that bridges high fashion and nail art.
While the collection celebrated wrap dresses and fluid silhouettes, the real showstopper emerged from the world of manicures. Editorial nail artist Miss Pop has dubbed this new phenomenon the “sunglass nail trend,” proposing that nail polish functions much like eyewear: slightly tinted, half-sheer, and the ultimate finishing touch to any striking outfit.
Miss Pop’s vision centers on blending the collection’s rich palette—think deep browns, striking greens, and sheer textures—into a stunning beauty statement. The trend isn’t just about color; it’s about application. To achieve that effortlessly cool, glass-like effect, the key lies in mastering two essential components: a sheer polish base and a high-shine top coat.
This technique adds incredible depth, transforming a simple manicure into a statement. As Miss Pop aptly put it, if a cat eye nail is a shooting star, a glass nail is the Northern Lights.
For those looking to recreate this mesmerizing look at home, the process is surprisingly simple. Start by applying just one layer of polish to achieve a slightly sheer, jelly-like base. If aiming for a multi-dimensional shade, layering a complementary color on top is the way to go.
The final, critical step is the high-shine top coat, which delivers that coveted uber-glassy finish. To inject reflective depth, Miss Pop utilized the Essie Special Effects line, featuring holographic, duochrome, and light-reflecting pigments, adding an extra layer of dimension to the look.
Whether you are drawn to deep chestnut browns with golden shimmer or lighter, ethereal shades, the beauty world is brimming with options. Products such as the Essie Gel Couture Liquid Diamonds and the Nail Art Studio Special Effects Nail Polish offer the perfect mediums to execute this trend effortlessly.
This trend proves that fashion and beauty are seamlessly intertwined, offering a new, dazzling way to accessorize. It’s a reminder that the most fabulous trends often come from unexpected intersections.
