Deborah Lippmann created not one, but two nails looks for Creatures of Comfort A/W 2018 presentation. Read below to learn how to recreate the high fashion designs.
Get the Nail Look 1:
1. Deborah contoured nails into a short, almond shape using her Smooth Operator 4-Way Nail Buffer.
2. To prep the nail plate, she exfoliated then hydrated the cuticle using her signature Cuticle Remover and Cuticle Oil. She then cleansed the nails with 2-Second Nail Primer prior to base coat application to ensure all leftover debris was removed the plate was clean.
3. Deborah applied a quarter-size amount of Marshmallow Whipped Hand & Cuticle Scrub to the top of each hand and rubbed in circular motion for 30 seconds each and then wiped away remaining product with a wet towel.
4. For the base, Deborah applied a coat of Gel Lab Pro Base Coat.
5. Deborah applied two coats of Fade to Black, a chart-topping vinyl record black cream, and waited 2 minutes to dry between each coat.
6. Swarovski crystals, in large chunky sizes, were carefully placed on each nail to create an added visual element.
7. After waiting another 2 minutes to dry, one coat of Gel Lab Pro Top Coat was applied to seal the nails and prevent chipping. The Wait Is Over Quick Dry Drops were added as a finishing touch to ensure faster drying time.
8. Hands and cuticles were massaged with Rich Girl SPF 25 Hand Cream and The Cure nourishing cuticle repair cream, respectively, for complete hydration.
