From muted metallics to single stripes in all colors, see the must-have spring 2018 nail trends straight from the runways.
Tom Ford
Just like the eyeliner, the nails at Tom Ford were all about a combination of black and glitter.
Sachin + Babi
Glossy gray was the color of choice backstage at Sachin + Babi.
Helmut Lang
Logo nails are still trending, as seen backstage at Helmut Lang.
3.1 Phillip Lim
More proof that a single line can be a work of nail art, this time at 3.1 Phillip Lim.
Jason Wu
At Jason Wu, manicurist Deborah Lippmann created metallic nails that matched Jason Wu's new fragrance bottle.
Phillip Plein
Glossy back nails with three-dimensional sparkle on Elsa Hosk at Phillip Plein.
The Blonds
The Blonds show had a mixed bag of bold nail art: leopard print, glow-in-the-dark, and tons of stick-on flowers and rhinestones.
Club Monaco
A stripe of burgundy polish was traced around the cuticle at Club Monaco.
Libertine
Three-dimensional appliques also had a starring role at Libertine's show.
Naeem Khan
Icy metallic silver polish with crystals backstage at Naeem Khan.
Jeremy Scott
Tangerine polish and fingers dipped in glitter at Jeremy Scott was one of the best nail looks seen during New York Fashion Week.
Oscar de la Renta
The nails were good as gold backstage at Oscar de la Renta, where models had their nails painted one of two classic gold Essie shades.
Helmut Lang
The second look at Helmut Lang was a graphic swirl of black and white.
Rebecca Minkoff
Two purple Essie polishes combined at Rebecca Minkoff to create our favorite DIY nail look for spring.
Marc Jacobs
What's old is new again—at least when it comes to gel manicures and Marc Jacobs. The nails were meant to mimic a growing-out gel manicure, so the polish was started with plenty of room left at the cuticle.
Kith
More logo nails were spotted backstage at Kith.
Tibi
Upgrade a nude manicure by tracing black sporty stripes diagonally across both pointer fingers.
