Contrary to the minimalist manicures that we have been seeing from this year’s NYFW runways went big, per usual. The Libertine Spring/Summer 2018 Show brought together CND with their longtime creative collaborator Johnson Hartig to create a nail designs that were everything but minimal and everything in your face.

Some designs showed crystals in the shape of emojis while other styles showed intricate details that screamed punk glam. If Libertine’s Spring/Summer Collection is walking art on the runway, then CND’s 3-D nail designs for the collection were definitely wearable art.
