Nails by Sylvie Macmillan using CND™ at 16Arlington
16Arlington know how to bring the drama when it comes to a fashion show, and today’s SS24 show featured beautifully intricate and dramatic nails by Sylvie Macmillan using CND™.
“Feathers are synonymous with 16Arlington, and this season nails got the feather treatment too. An iconic signature of the brand, the nails featured individual ostrich feathers encapsulated in clear CND™ Plexigel™. This mirrored the collection, with skirts and jackets featuring encapsulated feathers trapped in latex and silks. The hair and make-up were kept natural and simple this season, with the nails being the beauty feature”. – Sylvie Macmillan (@sylviemacmillan.nails)

Nails by Ella Vivii using CND™ at Sinead Gorey LFW Show
Sinead Gorey’s LFW was an explosion of colour, textures and bold prints. The nails, by Ella Vivii using CND™ mirrored this with beautiful lace prints cuffed with ombre brights and decorated with miniature haberdashery bows.
“The nails reflect the key concepts of the show; lots of bright shades, lots of lace and bows, whilst keeping the nails really sleek and refined. All of the nails feature a lace base, so they are uniformed and have a strong story. I trained with CND™ and love working with their products, it is such a reputable brand”. (@ellavivii)
Get the look:
- Start with a clear press on nail, natural nail, or nail created with the full clear CND™ Plexigel™ system.
