Baby Phat Invents ‘Understated Bling’

  • 2/2/08 at 2:35 PM

Only at Baby Phat could black-on-black nails embellished with black crystals be considered low-key. But as Creative Nail Design co-founder Jan Arnold explained backstage before the show, Kimora Lee Simmons decided to go with an "understated bling" look this year. Now there's a contradiction. New York Magazine beauty editor Aja Mangum also caught up with MAC's Nadine Luke, who expanded further on the show's makeup theme — "it's 1920s but a modern 1920s, so instead of a flapper girl, she's a flippin' girl." Watch the video to see the nails and the makeup close up.
