People have been predicting the death of nail art (at least on runways) for a few seasons now, and this is the first time we’ve been worried it may actually happen. There was a relative dearth of nail art this week, as it only showed up on a few runways.

The big nail story during New York fashion week? Nude. In all its wonderful incarnations–tan, beige, sheer, peachy. *yawn* Luckily there are still designers who showed some statement nails, and we’ve rounded them up here.

From Nicole Miller‘s psychadelic nails (you’ll need a steady hand to DIY that pattern) to the sweet polka dots at Kate Spade, click through to see the most exciting nail art that popped up at New York fashion week for fall.
