The Exquisite Reem Acra Fall Bridal Show 2013 w/ Fantasy Nails

One of my favorites at Reem Acra, Fall Bridal 2013. Ethereal, Amphibian, yet still Classic.

My baby girl, who really isn't a baby anymore :-( at 4 years old was Cinderella for Halloween. The inevitable princess thing happened. I can't say I ever went through it, but when Zoya invited me so kindly to the Reem Acra Fall 2013 Bridal Show the other week, this gal, moi, who wore Chanel pants and a Lagerfeld T to her City Hall wedding party -- well, I can fully admit to you that I was fantasy struck!

Reem Acra's dresses seemed to cascade and float like fairy dust and angel's wings. The models were weightless like the tulle, and the silk, rhinestones, lace and headdresses flowed like clouds drifting past a magic kingdom. You forgot you were in midtown in a crowded room full of eager iPhoners and papparrazi!

So even this modern fashion bridal tomboy, yes, was dazzled. Truth.

I was allowed backstage access (thank you ZOYA!) to see the buzz of the models and stylists, and of course the spectacular poof of the brilliant white dresses, which did overtake me, all racked up. Sushine Outing, the lead manicurist did a supreme job of having the nails nearly disappear into the glisten and wonder of the dresses, in a subtle but definitive way. She used the colors Electra and Snowsicle. Perfection, no?

Zoya Nail Polish in Snowsicle. Perfect for Weddings.

Zoya Nail Polish in Electra. TIP: Want to add an unforgettable holographic flash to your special White day? Do a half moon with this. Or just the 4th finger and the rest a nude color, or even Snowsicle.

I love the action of fashion show backstages. Where it all begins.

And here's a  little video to give you a taste of a little Reem in Wonderland :-), so you can get an up close and personal feel...
