Do It Yourself Runway French Tip Manicure With imPress

As you know I’m no stranger to backstage beauty at New York Fashion Week, it is here where trends prepare and introduce us to what’s new, hot, happening on both the fashion and beauty radar. After all you can’t wear an up and coming dress with outdated makeup or mismatched shoes. Well maybe you can but suggestions are always welcoming to bring you to what’s fashionably worth discovering.

So with the holidays right around the corner, I’ve got lead manicurist Holly Falcone backstage at Alon Livne talking about what’s sizzling in nail trends. By now you know how much I adore architectures and spaces, as nails this season are set to dazzle to post modern shapes. The Alon Livne collection combined with Kiss Impress nail trends was inspired by postmodern architect Michael Havemeyer’s vision of underwater sea creatures. If you’re working on fathoming a correlation between underwater creatures and nails, it really has to do with the natural tones and glimmer of the sea that play up colors to blend the lines and shapes trend.
