THE MATTE NAIL IS BACK! There is
something about a matte manicure that instantly transforms any ordinary color
to extraordinary. The cool effect that always reads chic made it debut back
stage at Costello Tagliapietr’s Fall/Winter 2014 show.
New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter 2014
Designer: Costello Tagliapietra
Manicurist: Julie Kandalec
Brand: Essie
Inspired by their favorite
fantasy& Sci-Fi heroines, the dynamic duo behind Costello created a modern
collection detailing the story of power and strength. Using gorgeous metallic fabrics
(swoon!) in unexpected shades made the collection pop on the runway. To
compliment this futuristic collection, lead manicurist, Julie Kandalec opted
for a deep berry-colored Essie shade with a matte finish.
Here’s how you can get the killer
manicure yourself:
Prep – As always, make sure clean
and filed nails are properly primed for color. Julie opted for Essie Ridge
Filling Base Coat.
Color – Once fully dried, Julie
applied two coats of Essie Berry Naughty, a rich berry shade that is just
perfect for the season.
Finish – To get that gorgeous
matte finish, Julie coated nails with a final coat on Essie Matte About You
