Nail art is all about playfulness and exuberance, adding a little extra flair to the standard solid colour block to create something fun you can enjoy all day long. That is why the release of our September Style Issue this year seemed like the perfect time to rekindle our nail art collaboration with Paintbox NYC.
This month’s Style Issue is all about unabashed decadence and high-octane glamour, about roaring back into life post-lockdowns with a party-ready uniform that suits the occasion. Glitter, feathers, punchy colour palettes, and bold geometries are all on show within the issue’s pages, and Paintbox’s nail designs demonstrate a complementary exuberance while still being straight-forward enough to recreate at home.
