Backstage With butter LONDON At Kaelen | New York Fashion Week

butter LONDON’s Global Colour Ambassador, Katie Hughes, created the nail look for Kaelen's F/W 2013 Collection.

Designer: KAELEN

Lead Manicurist: Katie Hughes, butter LONDON Global Colour Ambassador

The Scoop: Inspired by the idea of a uniform, the cool girls and cliques (a la The Craft), Kaelen wanted to elevate the uniform to sophisticated, cleaned-up grunge designs. The silhouettes are sporty, made polished using feminine, soft fabrics like organza. 

The Look: Katie created a texture clash nail look - with a matte black base and a glossy black french tip. 

To recreate the look: 

Step 1: Apply butter LONDON Nail Foundation Flawless Base Coat 

Step 2: Apply 2 coats of butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in Union Jack Black

Step 3: Apply butter LONDON Matte Finish Top Coat 

Step 4: Swipe butter LONDON P.D. Quick Top Coat to the tips to create a glossy french tip finish
