At Behnaz Sarafpour, Wanda Ruiz created Manolo Manicures inspired by two styles of namesake custom-designed shoes by Manolo Blahnik for the show using clear French tips and Blackjack; and other tips with Blackjack smile lines and Putty on the base of the nail. These modern twists on a classic 40′s French manicure accentuated romantic, messy buns and shiny nude lips. Nails popped in a presentation with gorgeous black leather and lace, and timeless tweed.

At Malandrino, smokey eyes and tousled curls were accentuated by Angi Wingle's Urban Haze manicure. Nail color was custom blended using base shades of Silver Chrome and Brilliant White with drops of Asphalt, Putty, Desert Suede, Eclectic Purple and Bicycle Yellow. The Parisian chic finished look was satinized with Super Matte for asphalt gray with purple haze overlay to accessorize sumptuous furs, wide brimmed and dandy hats, and elegant, femme fatale silhouettes.
