Claws Out! The Hautest Nails From Fashion Month

Forget the jewelry and the bags — the best accessories coming down the Paris Fashion Week catwalk are the nails (yeah, we said it, fashion-lovers). So far we've spotted the bold, bright colors expected for Spring, but we've also seen totally new techniques, too. The nail team at J. JS Lee topped each tip with pressed flowers — like real petals — and that's only the beginning of the amazing manicure artistry. Now move that envelope clutch out of the way so the real runway star can get some camera time (#nailparty).
