Nails at Alexander Mcqueen show this season.....

In honor of my upcoming party, I am posting some inspirations, the  nails in gold below are by Minx, and were worn for the Alexander Mcqueen show:

We'll leave the alien-esque sculpted hair and even more bizarre makeup at McQueen to the Trekkies of the world (some models actually had prosthetic pieces attached to their faces). But we actually kinda loved the super-long, metallic fake nails at the show. After each model got her extensions, the nails were covered with custom-made Minx—metallic sheets that go on like stickers—that came in 10-plus designs to match the fabrics in the collection. (Backstage, the Minx team told Allure beauty editor Victoria Kirby that they'd been working 12-hour days for over a week to create the elaborate nail art—and since some of the show's fabric patterns changed at the last minute, the Minx ladies had to re-do some of the nails the night before the show.) Though the designs were hard to see from a distance, up close "they were beautiful," Kirby said.
