Gareth Pugh Nails

At Paris Fashion Week, Gareth Pugh sent models down the runway with a wild manicure.  The show’s nail technician, Marian Newman, created manicures which were draped with small metallic chains.

“The silhouette of the collection was angular with the occasional hint of softness, so I translated this onto many of the nails for the girls,” she explained.

Marion painted nails with CND Ivory Coast polish before blending strokes of CND Blackjack polish. She then applied small chains — miniature versions of those seen on the clothes — to create a truly tough-girl effect which was high fashion and daring.
