“We were inspired by Ulla’s stunning color palette of mossy greens and terracottas, as well as her creative use of gradual flows of colors,” says Mabelyn Martin, Paintbox creative director. “Creating a partial outline of the nail with this curvy design gives the nails a sexy edge by exposing the natural nail while slightly framing it with a rich pop of color. Natural hand movements reveal both bare shine and an unexpected graphic detail.”
