CND, known for its nail artistry during the fashion industry event, created 26 different nail styles for the runway. The nails were medium length and dagger shaped, framed in liquid mercury, which illuminated dimension and reflected a woman’s power. The moonlit colored and hypnotic nails featured unique finishes and textures, from lapis lazuli to quartz, dimensional python, geodes and mineral artifacts.
