With New York Fashion week behind us, the hottest nail trends for Fall 2018 were seen on the runway. One of the trending looks was from the Bibhu Mohapatra show which featured Zoya as the nail sponsor! The look was featured on Cosmopolitan.

Lead nail tech, Miss Pop created a bedazzled look using two different shades – Zoya in Tawny and Zoya in Aspen. Both looks featured a negative space look with a gorgeous jewel.

“Who says nail art stops at your cuticle? Complement your negative space mani by gluing (eyelash glue works like a charm) a stud by each knuckle, like the nails at Bibhu Mohapatra.” – Cosmopolitan

Would you wear this look on a night out? See more from the Bibhu Mohapatra look here.

Zoya Colors Used: ZOYA Remove Plus, Naked Manicure Naked Base, Mary, Naked Manicure Satin Seal, Fast Drops

Nail Look: The Matriarch

Nail Tech: Alicia Torello for ZOYA

“The nail shade was simple and clean, yet showed an understated power. Mary was inspired by the idea of matriarch and female strength.” – Alicia Torello, Lead Manicurist for ZOYA

Details:

The Colovos AW 2018 collection included textures and fabrics that rejected the traditional animal skins and leathers in favor of faux. The collection emphasizes finding the greatest strength in a women’s vulnerability. From orange check fabrics to black silhouettes, the nail look was kept very simple and clean to complement the fearlessness of the women and the line.

How To:

Begin by cleaning and prepping the nail with ZOYA Remove Plus.  Follow with ZOYA Naked Manicure Naked Base. For color, apply a single coat of ZOYA in Mary. Add ZOYA Naked Manicure Satin Seal to give the nails that perfect, high shine finish. For a quick dry, add a few drops of ZOYA Fast Drops.

Zoya Colors Used: ZOYA Remove Plus, Naked Manicure Naked Base, Naked Manicure Glossy Seal, Beth, Naked Manicure Pink Perfector, Fast Drops

Nail Look: Denim & Diamonds

Nail Tech: Naomi Gonzalez for ZOYA

“The collection infused western style with a bit of sparkle to create the perfect blend just like the two ZOYA polishes created when used together.” – Naomi Gonzalez, Lead Manicurist for ZOYA

Details:

The Veronica Beard AW 2018 collection pays homage to 1980s Dallas. The line combines the aesthetic of the socialite and cowboy during this time period, fusing the mix of western details with classic pieces. While very much a contrast, when combined, it made the perfect union. This was represented by mixing ZOYA Naked Manicure Pink Perfector and ZOYA in Beth.

First, clean the nail with ZOYA Remove Plus.  Follow with ZOYA Naked Manicure Naked Base.  Next, apply a coat of a ZOYA Naked Manicure Pink Perfector to give the nail a healthy pink glow. Apply a layer of ZOYA in Beth onto the nail. Top it off with another layer of ZOYA Naked Manicure Pink Perfector.   Finally, finish off with a coat of ZOYA Naked Manicure Glossy Seal to give the nail a nice polished appearance and add a few drops of ZOYA Fast Drops to ensure the nail dries quickly.

Recreating your favorite NYFW beauty looks just got easier with this list from San Francisco  Chronicle! One of their top looks was Zoya at Mara Hoffman! For this look, we used Zoya in Mirajane for a bold, bright look. Mirajane is best described as a classic neon navy.

“Bright blue was the statement color of the season, manifesting in saturated cobalt eyeshadow at Anna Sui and floating geometric cat-eyes in cyan at Prabal Gurung. For a subtler version, paint your fingertips the navy neon Zoya Mirajane, seen at Mara Hoffman.”

Press, , , , , , , , , , , Leave a comment

We loved the celebration of diversity and female empowerment at Mara Hoffman this year and so did Beauty Launchpad! The beauty looks were catered to each model and polish shades were chosen to reflect individuality. We love using our nails as an extension of our personal style and instantly connected with Mara Hoffman’s message.

“We’re calling the look ‘Kaleidoscope Women. Everything is based on the individual. We presented Mara with over 125 colors and she narrowed it down to these 12.” – Zoya nail lead Naomi Gonzalez
