What Fashion Insiders Really Wear On Their Nails

Fashion Week is not just about what goes down the runway. Of course, there's also street style: the ritual of dressing well and going to shows to see models who are (hopefully) dressed even better — and then documenting it on the blogs. But, what would happen if we were to turn that voyeuristic look at the industry into something even more intimate? Something like, say, a peek at the taste makers' manicures?

That's exactly what Deborah Lippmann — who's been painting tips and toes at NYFW with her namesake brand for years — did this season. Backstage, Deborah is the warm, friendly godmother of nail polish who everyone knows and loves. So, when she turned her iPhone into a mani cam, we were intrigued: Who would she snap? What kinds of polishes would catch her eye?
