CND created wild nails in zebra prints using Blackjack and Brilliant White, dazzling ruby red with Scarlet Letter, and marbleized Gold Chrome in order to provide an extension of the models’ larger than life personalities. Phillipe Blond, the fiercest designer on the runway, had his nails done in Scarlet Letter with lots and lots of glitter on top, and opened the show by walking the catwalk in a gorilla suit! Now I’ve seen it all!

Some wild photos!

From the crimped, tied and molded hair held in place with a full face nude fishnet, and exotic, dark lined eyes with exotic tails wisping up and outward. The clothes were all hand-made and sewn to the models’ bodies backstage…and the careful thought and extreme artistry was a feast for the senses. The nails embodied the Turkish ‘evil eye’ in shades of copper, emerald and blue sapphire in the background with a black ‘pupil’ matted down for a rubber-like finish. The nails complemented the curves of the clothes and the sheen in the magical fabrics. The show was performance art as only ThreeASFOUR can do!!! Bravo!

Some great nail close-ups!

First of all, it was snowing…and we aren’t just talking flurries. A hot mess getting there, but it was a blessing in disguise for the hair team because models would run in with hair matted and wet from the weather and the hair stylists pronounced the look ‘perfect!’ Both guys and girls were in the show, and it was truly hard to tell the difference…both were equally angular and gorgeous. Faces were powdered and nails were polished with one coat of Rose Water for a tinted moisturizer look and finished off with one coat of Speedey. Casual, fun, and androgynous, the mood was as casual as the clothes.Mar

The minimalist sleek jersey dresses and butter-soft leathers in grey, taupe, oatmeal and black are clothes that accentuate the female form to a tee. The nails were as soft and sumptuous as the clothes; with meticulous manis and a stroke of runway-famed Putty. Seal with Speedey and you have the low maintenance perfect finish for everyday elegance.
