Even though it happens every year, part of me wishes I could avoid winter altogether by hiding in the back of my closet with my summery shoes. Better yet, in a closet of a resort on a tropical island . .

Perhaps you've heard of that
black nail polish trend. You know, the one that's been going on strong for, like, a year. Celebrities galore have been taking part in the craze, choosing not just black but some other inky colors, too.

While looks from straight off the runways are not necessarily meant to be taken literally, I like to incorporate bit of high fashion here and there to enhance my style — particularly on my fingernails.
Each day this week we've been giving away awesome prizes from Yves St. Laurent's beauty line, and that's got me all excited about their fashion lineup.

Do you take your whole look straight from the runway or do you prefer to add a splash of high fashion here and there? However you do it, I have some great nail-polish color ideas inspired right off the Fall 2008 catwalks.

Karen Walker.

Whether you take your style straight from the runway or you prefer to incorporate just a hint of high fashion in other ways, I've got some great nail polish color ideas inspired by this season's catwalks.

Butter London is one of those beauty brands that is fast becoming cult property. Although the company is actually based in Seattle, it offers a thoroughly British experience with quirky names such as Old Blighty and Chimney Sweep. Their creative director, Nonie Creme has worked on numerous A-list nails, including Kate Moss, as well as creating looks on campaigns for Vogue, H&M, and Jimmy Choo.

I'm still trying to figure out the best way to paint my nails with the opposite hand. Although I haven't become quite dexterous enough to master painting perfection, I have mastered two smudge-proof techniques just by using my little ol' pinky fingers to help me along the way. Try out these two tips below.

Earlier today, I was picking up some candy for the neighborhood kiddies, and took a little beauty pit stop down the Halloween aisle. Lo and behold, I discovered this little gem. Seeing that black roses typically have a negative connotation of hatred or death, I was kinda frightened.

Back in September, Tommye from
Fashionologie and I were killing time at the San Francisco airport, which conveniently happens to have a Sephora. We were on our way to
Fashion Week, and since I hadn't had time to clean up my nails, I picked up a package of Sephora Brand
Nail Patch ($10). Even though I've
been burned before by press-on polish, I decided to try it again.
