New York: Backstage at Libertine Fall 2017

After the infamous "Fur Nails" of Fall 2016, and the beauty-media storm they created, which led to articles with titles like: "The Fur Nail Trend is Stressing me the F out," and "Furry Nails the Craziest Nail Trend of the Moment." One might expect Libertine designer Johnson Hartig, and the pro team at CND Nails to back away from the crazy digit-details.

But one would be dead wrong. If anything this wacky partnership has gone bigger and better this season with 3-dimensional, jewel and chain layered nails that echoed the designer's embroidery, bead, and patch collection so closely it felt as if Hartig had created the nails himself.
