There aren't many nail brands that time after time raise the bar and continue to impress but every season, CND collaborate with The Blonds in New York and magic happens. These are just nails; these nails are art.
This season is no different. CND created no less than 23 different designs for the Blond girl who is, this season, 'good girl gone bad'. She knows the difference between right and wrong but chooses to err on the dark side. The clothing and nails at the show expressed a modern twist on classic comic book villains, including Cat Woman, Poison Ivy and The Joker, and the results of this fashion collaboration truly took the art of nail design to an unprecedented level.
"Our elite Education Ambassadors are hand selected for their talent and appreciation of art, from sculpture to color theory and beyond, said CND Co-founder Jan Arnold. Building upon this artistic foundation, our team created looks for The Blonds that tie in beautifully with our Modern Folklore trend prediction for Fall 2014, lush with embellished, bespoke and handmade craftsmanship. We dont paint nails backstage at Fashion Week we transform them into mini-masterpieces."
The nail designs showcased at The Blonds show reveal the pop culture element of CNDs Fall Fashion story for nails. The handmade works of art are sharp, strong, bold and intricate with extreme and pointed shapes. CNDs artists handcrafted the nails and their dramatic embellishments with Retention+TM Liquid & Powder and BrisaTM Gel. Then, layers of high-shine color were applied using CND ShellacTM and VINYLUXTM. CND finalized the looks with unique embellishments, including jagged vintage jewels, Swarovski crystals, chains, pearls, leather, glitter, foil, velvet and more for a rich seductive finish. These ornate designs, created in the CND Design Lab, truly represent CNDs unique partnership with The Blonds and showcase their unrivaled artistry at New York Fashion Week.
"CND continues to amaze us with nails that raise the bar each season," said The Blonds designers Phillipe and David Blond. "They bring so much passion and expertise to the table and the collaborative process is an inspiring experience. Each of our models walks down the runway showcasing two incredible looks one on her body and one on her nails. You dont see that at other shows."
"As our exclusive designer partner this season in New York, we love that The Blonds truly appreciate our art form and allow us to push the artistic envelope even further as the years go by," said Jan Arnold. "Their avant-garde aesthetic and creative energy provide the perfect canvas for our artistry. We look forward to making runway magic with them for a long time to come."
Magic indeed.
Until then...geek on!
