Mercedes Benz Fashion Week Fall ’12. Backstage at Betsey Johnson

You can always expect a party at a Betsey Johnson show. Backstage for her Fall/Winter 2012 ready-to-wear runway show, the party had just begun! Inspirational handmade Betsey posters, cupcakes, candy, champagne were in abundance bringing laughter and fun to a long day. Even a DJ was on hand to play the latest hits! And this is all before the show!

Betsey has her own special chair to watch the show. How cute!

Snacks for everyone!

She even had a DJ!

"Sparkling Personality" and "What's a Tire Jack?" used for the nail design

Nails were bright and colorful, just like Betsey! This season, Sephora for OPI debuted its new Betsey Johnson Collection, which of course, reflects the outrageous and flashy colors that the designer is known for. And just as an added bonus, each of the neon nail polishes are infused with Too Too, Betsey’s latest fragrance.

Renee Meyers from OPI gave some secrets on the newest colors of the collection being used for the show. “Sparkling Personality”, a silver pink glitter, was used on the nails to give the stripe effect on top of “What’s a Tire Jack?”, a basic black base, which gives a dense black coat on one coat. The striped design was based off of the tights design used in the show.

The Spring 2012 Sephora by OPI Betsey Johnson Collection consists of seven full sized chip resistant nail polish shades, a six piece mini nail polish set, long lasting trend tips and flashy nail designs. Price points range from $9.50 to $24.50. “I am Too Too excited for my first nail collection with Sephora by OPI!  The collection is just how I like it – loud, outrageous, pretty, pinky, and kickass rock and roll,“ says Betsey. Look for the collection exclusively available at Sephora stores and sephora.com in March.
