At the LUAR show during New York Fashion Week this September, nail artist Naomi Yasuda worked with nail brand Addiction Tokyo to create nail looks that evoked a trend in the 90s that influenced music, fashion, and culture.

"The collection is inspired by the ‘90s, rock n’ roll, punk, and grunge so you’ll see elements of that in the nail looks. I created four looks that tie back to colors and fabrics within the pieces. The silver accent is a charm that I found at the LUAR studio and can be seen on the pinky nail on select models." - Naomi Yasuda
