Ahead of the
Isabel Garcia show earlier today, Fashion Scout caught up with FreelanceTWS and Naomi
Gonzalez-Longstaff to discuss the models’ nails that
are going to complement the designer’s show.
Which inspirations did you use for the Isabel Garcia show?
The Isabel
Garcia show used a specific colour nail - it was a custom design
for her. The inspiration is soft, combined with rose and gold to
create a flowing feminine sense. The nail
colour that Isabel used custom from The Body Shop is named Quiet Rose Gold.
It is a colour that consists with the base coat (Arms and Kiss).
Then we used The Body Shop sugar cubes with four colours to create the
rose gold effect. We fused the colour with little pigments and blended them together. By taking and crashing them over, it gave a fine
pigment. It is almost dust like, so when we apply it and dot the
nail, it's infused with a variety of colour.
How did colour come to life?
We are
working directly with Isabel. It was fantastic! We spent time to discuss and
it is amazing to collaborate our visions. I feel appreciated that we
get to view the designer’s collection and to understand what the
designer is trying to achieve - the feeling of the garments, colour,
and texture. I can see Isabel has a sense of fun and young
features on her collection so that’s how we found the collaboration
and inspiration for this specific colour.
How does your
team work through this?
Our team and I were tag-teaming on this.
It is a two-man role. So one is applying the colour while the other
is dabbing the pigment on the nails. Then we put the topcoat on the
models’ nails.
How did you come to work in the nail industry?
I have a
masters degree in design, so bringing the fine art and design
experiences into my career it helps a lot. I worked internationally,
within the United States, where I based in Miami and New York and I
come to London and Paris where I travelled the globe constantly to do
nails design.
How do you
feel working at Fashion Scout?
This is the
first time that my team and I work at Fashion Scout. It is a
fantastic experience. Especially when we are able to create and
collaborate with these wonderful up and coming designers. I feel such
an honour to partner with them. The nail team and I are having a great
time!
