LBS: Backstage Beauty Alon Livne Spring 2015

Alon-Livné-Spring-2015-Nails

Lead manicurist Holly Falcone for KISS Products, Inc. used Kiss imPRESS nails in pink medium length to create a futuristic inspired look on the models to compliment the Alon Livne Spring 2015 collection. Inspired by the post modern architecture of Michael Havemeyer, the collection featured his signature sculptural techniques, playing with neoprene and chiffon in shades of lavender, grey, black and silver.

The Kiss press on nails are very affordable and more importantly super easy to use. Holly tells us,

” For the best application start on clean nails with no polish. Make sure your hands are free of oil and lotions.”

This will ensure that the nails stay on. The nails come with an adhesive so no messy glues are required. If applied correctly, they can last for up to seven days.  These press on nails are perfect for beginners. The KISS nail artist paint and stencil kit makes it super easy to customize your own nails with 30 different stencil designs included in each package.

How To Get The Look:

  1. Select the correct size imPRESS medium length nail to fit each nail and set aside in order
  2. Prep nails with the prep pad to remove all oils and lightly buff around the cuticles
  3. Peel off and press on imPRESS Shape
  4. File nails, tapering to a point at the tip to create the desired pointed almond shape design:
  5. Paint over the white French tip on the imPRESS nail with the KISS Nail Artist Paint in silver, leaving a thin white line at the top
  6. Finish with KISS quick dry top coat and all to dry

Are you loving this futuristic nail trend as much as we are?
