From the Fashion Week Runways
Get Me to the Taj on Time, by OPI
1. OPI painted Get Me to the Taj on Time from the company’s India Collection on the models in the Angel Sanchez show. Nails were neutral to match the subtlety of make-up and the palette for Angel’s designs.

2. Not to forget L.A. Fashion Week, which kicked off on March 9, China Glaze did the nails for five shows, including IMASU by Kelly Nishimoto (shown). Manicurist Melissa Bozant used a combination of the colors One More Merlot (a creamy wine) as the first coat, and Secrets (a frosty purple) as the second, to do the models’ nails.
