Introduction
During the exciting New York Fashion Week (NYFW) 2020, editorial manicurist Holly Falcone made waves with her stunning rainbow nail art, skillfully created in collaboration with ORLY. This vibrant nail art was showcased during the presentation of Susan Alexandra: The Musical, captivating audiences with its colorful aesthetics and artistic flair.
Holly Falcone and ORLY: A Perfect Collaboration
Holly Falcone expressed her enthusiasm about the partnership with ORLY, emphasizing the importance of color and embellishment in the designs. "Susan makes amazing use of color and embellishments on her bags, and the partnership with ORLY was such a great match," Falcone noted. The nail designs were not just visually striking but were also designed to harmonize perfectly with Susan Alexandra’s colorful fashion pieces.
The Vibrant Palette
For the nail art, Falcone utilized an array of ORLY shades that included:
- Turn It Up
- Below Zero
- Snow Worries
- Fresh
- Glass Half Full
- Holy Holo
- Haute Red
- Lilac You Mean It
Each shade contributed to a vibrant and diverse look that perfectly complemented the lively atmosphere of the runway event.
Creating Unique Nail Designs
To bring her creative vision to life, Falcone incorporated unique embellishments such as pearls, clouds, daisies, martinis, and cherries. To achieve these intricate designs, Falcone chose to work with ORLY’s soak-off sculpting gel, which allows for seamless application and long-lasting wear. This gel applies like a soft gel but offers the durability of hard gel, making it a favorite among nail artists.
Essential Tools for an Editorial Manicurist
Falcone highlighted that ORLY’s GELFX Builder in a Bottle was an essential tool in her artistic arsenal. This product not only enhances the durability of the nail art but also provides the flexibility needed to create intricate designs. The combination of ORLY’s vibrant polish shades and high-quality gel products enabled Falcone to push the boundaries of nail art during NYFW.
Final Thoughts
The collaboration between Holly Falcone and ORLY resulted in an awe-inspiring showcase of creativity at NYFW 2020. The rainbow nail art not only highlighted the importance of nail designs in complementing fashion but also set a trend that is likely to inspire nail artists and fashion designers alike in the future. As the fashion world continues to evolve, so too will the art of nail design, making it an essential aspect of runway presentations.
