Last night, China Glaze teamed up with Opening Ceremony to bring fashion lovers the Happiest Show on Earth. In place of walking the NYFW runway, models walked the streets of Toon Town, complete with Mickey-inspired clothes and manicures.
Lead nail artist Naomi Yasuda (@naominailsnyc) used acrylic to make mouse ears on tips and nine shades of China Glaze color to bring the designs to life. Colors used included Liquid Leather, Water Falling in Love, Activewear Don't Care, Spring in My Step, Hey Sailor, Work it Honey, Barre Hopping, That'll Peach You, and White on White. Forty models (both men and women) were manicured by eight techs.
The runway finale included a marching band, an appearance by Mickey and Minnie, and the clothes from the runway already for sale. A happy night and place for nails, indeed!
