00:00Hey Essence.com, I'm Dana Johnson and we are right here at Lincoln Center looking for fabulous fall fashion nail trends.
00:09Tell me a little bit about your personal style because I'm absolutely loving this jumpsuit that you're giving.
00:14Thank you. I remember somebody once describing me as rocker chic, so I guess the rocker is the funky part and the chic is the simple and elegant part, hopefully.
00:22Now tell me, do you do your nails yourself?
00:24You know, I do a little bit of both, right? I go to the salons, especially in the summers because I'm doing the whole mani-pedi combo thing.
00:30Okay.
00:31But I get bored with my color really quickly, so I do them at home quite often, so we're changing colors every week.
00:37I do them at home myself, maybe every two to three days.
00:40I have a little nail salon in my living room.
00:42Girl, it is a recession still. I have to do my own nails at home.
00:47Since you like effortless and chic throughout your outfit, how do you pick your nail color?
00:51It has to be something classic and neutral that can go with whatever I decide to wear that day.
00:55I just pick a color that makes me happy that week or that's on trend.
00:59Does your nail color dictate your outfit or does your outfit dictate your nail color?
01:03I think my outfit dictates my nail color.
01:05Shoes first.
01:06Oh, okay.
01:07And then you work your way up.
01:08Then you work your way up.
01:09Okay.
01:10And then up.
01:11Are there any fall nail trends that you're looking forward to playing with?
01:13I've been seeing really cool, simple geometric designs with neon colors on a nude base.
01:18Really into the nude nails.
01:20I like edging your nails with a nail color instead of actually using a French tip.
01:25Well, that's a wrap.
01:27The women right here on the streets of New York City are definitely flawless.
