Nature's Best Manicures at Jen Kao

The Rainforest called… they want their nails back. Today at Jen Kao, CND nails by Kristina Estabrooks were inspired by organic, living things in the swampy depths of nature. While at Karen Walker, black matte nails complemented leather embellishments. Jen Kao's otherworldly nails just look so cool; the nails and the brows definitely take center stage here.

At Karen Walker, Angi Wingle did black matte manicures using Blackjack topped with Super Matte Top Coat to accentuate leather embellishments on shoulders and sleeves, eccentric floral, and illusion-textured fabrics, and a color palette of orange crush, royal blue, heather gray and mustard yellow.

Long, almond shape nails were based with Gold Chrome and Midnight Sapphire, and accented with drops of Gold Pearl, Iced Blue Shimmer, and Midnight Sapphire for a psychedelic stained glass effect. An almost aquatic quality took hold to match mind-bogglingly twisted hair, green metallic eye shadow and glittery bronze brows.
