“3D nail art," says Remark, an editorial manicurist and educator in New York who was appointed Lead Nail Artist of essie Canada in 2012 and essie Global Lead educator in 2015. "At its most editorial, think sculptured gel or acrylic in unique shapes like blown glass or ceramics. At its simplest, try crystal or pearl appliques atop of your French manicure or favorite summer color.”
