World Mastercard Fashion Week has wrapped up and all the excitement may be over, but the backstage beauty buzz lives on! I got a sneak peek of the Essie nail trends for Spring 2016 with Lead Nail Artist for essie Canada & Global Lead Educator,Rita Remark.
Another great “twist” on the french manicure was this easy to achieve nude “dipped” nail to compliment the Mikhael Kale collection.

A little difficult to see in the photo, but the nails are matte and the tips are super shiny thanks to Essie’s Gel Setter Top Coat – created a “dipped in gel” look.
We created a wet-dry French manicure to emulate the vision of nails dipped in gel. We covered the nails with ‘matte about you’ for contrast, because we wanted them to look super shiny. We finished the look off with an exaggerated French tip using two coats of ‘gel setter’ topcoat.
