Wenlan, the designer, is known for her knits – wonderful, bulky, hand-crafted, avant-garde knits. As a smart business woman, she also sells wearable, tailored dresses, chunky accessories and even stylized bed and bath products. Wenlan is admirably calm, Zen and thoughtful…and has a huge fan base who eagerly awaits her every move. The house was mobbed and THE NAILS WERE THE BOMB! We did Deep Ruby with Super Matte and result was deep forest, shadows in the night mysterious. These haunted romantic nails were truly thrilling!

Next up, a little sushi with Anna and a good night’s sleep before another crazy day.

Karen is from New Zealand – Auckland, to be exact, and she has perfected funky, high style, cool-chic tailored clothes. Even her accessories are to die for. Hello – can you say, the BEST sunglasses on the planet?! Not to mention the best socks, tights, bags and style. OK…so let’s talk nails…

we used Rose Water to create liquid shine nails to compliment the clean, healthy face and Karen Walker’s overall attitude on life. Backstage, I asked her how she looks soo amazing!? Her answer was, “Hard work and clean living.” I love her.

Check out the pictures of the adorable Anna Nelson!!! First of all, she’s beautiful, tall, and graceful. She learned English in her native Russia by studying cookbooks!!! None of her family speaks English…she is the language pioneer! Anna is an expert at hair color and painting, and she has truly mastered creating fashionable nail designs that are so refined and new looking! Lavish designs fit for royalty. I’m sooo inspired by her.
At Karen Walker, we sat in the front row and had sooo much fun drinking in the artistic ideas together!!

Check out these great shots!
