Sally Hansen hit the runway at Stella McCartney’s Summer 2015 fashion
show during Paris Fashion Week on Monday. To complement the classically
muted palette and fluid silhouettes in the designer’s collection, Sally
Hansen’s Global Color Ambassador Madeline Poole created a coolly minimalist,
nude manicure with a twist by giving flesh toned polish a matte finish. Madeline
paired Sally Hansen Big Matte Top Coat with Complete Salon Manicure in
Almost Almond, a flattering nude shade which gave the glossy manicure a chic
velvety matte look.
As the
exclusive nail sponsor of Stella McCartney Collections in 2014, Sally Hansen hit
the runway at Stella McCartney’s Summer 2015 fashion show during Paris Fashion
Week. To accessorize the effortlessly elegant and fluid silhouettes in the
designer’s collection, Sally Hansen’s Global Color Ambassador Madeline Poole
created a coolly minimalist, nude manicure with a twist by giving flesh toned
polish an unexpected matte finish.
Showing
that understated colors can make a fashion statement, Poole paired Sally Hansen
Big Matte Top Coat with flattering nude shades from the Complete Salon Manicure
collection to give the glossy manicure a chic velvety matte look.
“The idea
for the matte nude nail came from referencing the true sheen of a natural nail,”
says Madeline Poole. “As an unpainted nail is generally more satin or matte in
finish, we were mimicking this surface. In the end, the result is dusty and bare
like the cheek of a porcelain doll.”
THE SHADES
Complete
Salon Manicure in Almost Almond
Big Matte Top Coat
Sally
Hansen’s award-winning Complete Salon Manicure collection infuses
trend-setting shades with an expert quality formula to deliver salon-caliber
results. Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure delivers seven salon manicure
steps in one bottle. Chip resistant strength joins gel-quality shine. Must-have
color meets nourishing benefits. Plus, a built-in base and top coat, it’s
everything you need to achieve a professional manicure at
home.
Sally
Hansen Big Matte Top Coat transforms a glossy manicure of any color into
a velvety matte for an edgy, unexpected finish. Containing a mattifying Silica
agent, the formula brushes on glossy before instantly drying to a matte top
sealant. The smooth top coat applies evenly and easily and dries with lightning
speed without smudging nail art or other special effect nail polishes and can
also be applied to bare nails for an extreme matte look with a silky
finish.
THE STELLA MCCARTNEY SUMMER 2015
COLLECTION
Effortless movement and a fluid
silhouette reflect the true spirit of summer, embracing a strong feminine
attitude.
Utilitarian functionality with
sailor trousers and wide culottes in shades of white, crème and vanilla. Washed
cotton twill and linens provide texture and a feeling of age and character.
Slightly over scaled buckles create toughness. Heavily stitched hemlines and
gathered waists reflect work wear. Naïve markings are applied to add further
depth onto the fabric.
A statement in denim plays on
appliqué threadwork and a combination of asymmetrical circular shapes and
cutaway side paneling. A washed ribbed knit dyed in indigo creates the illusion
of denim.
Knitwear is bold and sensual, made
of organic yarn in butter with polished hardware details; knotted and twisted,
exposing skin in movement. A shiny and matte knit of different rib proportions
is chopped and sculptured in asymmetrical silhouettes in powder, ciel and butter
shades, accessorized with oversized non-PVC necklace chains.
Check print is applied on layers of
billowing silk dresses and ultra -light trench coats. Embracing a worn effect,
silk crepe de chine jacquard and silk satin voile in gentle pastels reveal skin
and layers underneath the tunnel work, gathered at the waist in a depth of
luxurious washed fabric.
Evening captures the energy and
exuberance of summer. An eclectic mix of patterns and prints in delicate organza
are sewn into a jigsaw of suspended hand-embroideries, creating windows through
the body.
Shoes feature soft knots and fluid
lines, contrasted with a graphic mirror finish. A new mid heel wedge in
sustainable Alter Nappa is naturally confident and sexy. Knotted flats and soft
lacing. Bags echo the collection, in cotton scuba and Alter Nappa. A cylinder
clutch in ciel and patchworked embroidered clutches in butter and navy.
