"    Photo: ImaxTree  Backstage before her show, Tracy Reese was calm and collected, while getting her digits painted a two-tone blue design by Sally Hansen&amp;#039;s pros. &amp;quot;We wanted our nails to be an extension of our jewelry story, and every season we develop great colors with Sally Hansen, which is part of the fun,&amp;quot; she told ELLE.com. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s an exaggerated half-moon. I wanted this talon [shape], because I just think it&amp;#039;s cool. When we layer the jewelry on the girls&amp;#039; arms, the fingertips are going to extend the look.&amp;quot; But the jazzy manicures didn&amp;#039;t steal the spotlight away from her usually festive wares, accessorized with fringy shoes and bags, bright stacks of bracelets, and nerdy-chic glasses.   The print-master created a collection of colorful, effortless looks: neon dresses that beg for tans, vibrant tribal prints, and intricate beading. She described her inspiration as &amp;quot;mash-ups, juxtaposition, and ease.&amp;quot; The designer said, &amp;quot;This season, I was really into the idea of mixing two different prints together with embellishments and embroidery. That became the new pattern\u2014mixing a floral with an ikat or a landscape with a geometric.&amp;quot; It wouldn&amp;#039;t be difficult to imagine the pieces on some of her spirited front-row attendees, like Shenae Grimes and Lauren Conrad. But perhaps her most talked-about supporter is Michelle Obama, who just wore a custom Tracy Reese dress to the Democratic National Convention. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re pushing production for the dress,&amp;quot; she confirmed. &amp;quot;There is a huge demand for it, so we&amp;#039;re hoping we can get it out to stores ASAP. It&amp;#039;s a basic style we ran for spring 2012, and [Obama] loved the original, so we wanted something reminiscent of that it.&amp;quot; The for-sale frock will be inspired by the one donned by the First Lady.
