MINIMAL MESSAGING x SIMONE ROCHA

At Simone Rocha, the nail art said it all. Artist Ama Quashie spelled out “I WANT TO BRUSH HER HAIR” atop the models’ bare nails—achieving ultra minimalism. Why not let your nails do the talking?

DAISY STAMPED x SANDY LIANG

Fans of florals should take note of Nails by Mei’s design from the Sandy Liang runway. Glossy square nails make for minimal beauty—but the main attraction is the black floral accent nail. Not too much, not too little.
