Fall 2016 Nail Look by Sally Hansen

A fashion-forward way to play with color.

Color blocking nails is a perfect way to add instant depth and trend to your style, colors can be monochromatic, metallic, bright, whatever style fits your ensemble. Two looks created by Sally Hansen Global Color  Ambassador Madeline Poole for the Fall 2016 runway shows for DKNY and Phillip Lim.  In fact, Sally Hansen was the exclusive nail partner for Phillip Lim and to create nail looks for his Fall 2016 fashion show during New York Fashion Week.
 
“Phillip Lim's new collection was inspired by Japanese craftsmanship, elegant lacquered wood, samurai sword embellishment, and even lipstick packaging. The location is intimate, secretive and lit by red light, evoking an underground performance or fight club. I thought immediately about a tradition I had once heard from the Heian period in Japan when ninjas would paint the symbol of their clan on their thumb. I wanted the nail look to feel symbolic and to have a striking contrast, hence the use of metallic with the beige shade, but to also work with the palette of the collection – a traditional autumnal array of olive green, mustard and burgundy,” said Poole.
 
Poole did a circular optical illusion in Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Commander in Chic and Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Gilty Party on half of the girls and an oval shape in Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Camelflage and Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Gilty Party on the other half.
 
“The oval shape was inspired by the hardware on the bags and belts,” she said.
