The Many Reasons You'll Love Rachel Roy's Dirt-Inspired Beauty Look

Rachel Roy looked to something rather unconventional when working with the makeup and nail artists at her Fall 2012 presentation — and that something odd was dirt. Yes, dirt.

"The Rachel Roy look was nature-inspired, by pine and soil," explains Essie manicurist Elle. So to capture that feel, the brand's Licorice (a jet black crème) was applied to models' nails, along with Going Incognito (a deep emerald green) on top. The result was an ultra-cool blackened dark green.

A matte lip hue in Latte (available in Fall) added just a hint of color.
