Glitter Fade Nails How-to: Get the NYFW Look

Glitter Fade Nails How-to: Get the NYFW Look

Glitter fade nails are perfect for any occasion; to add sparkle to a spring wardrobe, or accessorize evening attire. Manicurist Gina Edwards for KISS Products, Inc. created gold glitter faded nails for the Carmen Marc Vavlo Fall/Winter 2016 Collection this past New York Fashion Week, and has provided Ask the Pro Stylist with the how-to for this Tuesday.

Happy Tuesday beautiful and welcome to this week’s how-to guide from Ask the Pro Stylist! We make a return to nails with a step-by-step nails tutorial from the runways of NYFW. On February 16 Gina Edwards for KISS crafted glitter fade nails to complement the vision of fashion designer Carmen Marc Valvo.

According to Gina, “The painterly vision of the Vienna Secession serves as the inspiration for Carmen Marc Valvo Fall 2016 Collection, combining floral flourishes with geometric industrial accents.” The celebrity manicurist lightly polished gold KISS Nail Artist Paint onto nude nails.  “This glitter fade effect adds some ‘sparkle’ to an otherwise classic manicure.”

To get the glitter fade nails look from NYFW, Gina has provided the following nail tutorial.
