In the NAILS Next Top Nail Artist, Top 6 contestant Lauren Boyd from Memphis, Tenn., created a steampunk design for one hand using using mixed media. She received bonus points for using out-of-the-box (non-nail) materials. http://www.nailsmag.com/ntna2014
You know nail tech Lauren Wireman of Wildflowers Nails in Cape Coral, Fla., as the first runner-up in the inaugural NAILS Next Top Nail Artist competition. One of her wins was the CND challenge that included a chance to work with the brand at Fashion Week. Wireman shares her story from the Design Lab in New York City of what it was like to be a part of the CND A-Team for a few days.
CND didn't disappoint when it came to their final collaboration for NYFW Spring/Summer 2015. Their partnership with the Blonds produced awe-inspiring gangster genie nails.
