to compliment the clothing, Katie applied butter LONDON Nail Foundation to the nails followed by Nail Lacquer in Union Jack Black. she then matted the look by applying Matte Finish Topcoat. using a thin striping brush, Katie applied Knees Up ~ starting at the cuticle and creating a feather or flame like design along the nail. the shiny finish of Knees Up served as the perfect contrast to the matte black lacquer that popped at the tips.

NYFW nails: butter LONDON at Lela Rose f/w '14

a gorgeous nail look was created for the Lela Rose f/w '14 runway show! take a look at how butter LONDON's global color ambassador, Katie Jane Hughes, did it...

the Lela Rose fall 2014 collection was inspired by Ferran Adrià, a spanish catalan chef who creates food masterpieces {his dishes are each sketched before created and use a variety of different textures}. this translated into a collection of whites, gold, silver and black with textures such as pearls, beading and feathers.

to create the look, Katie began by applying butter LONDON's Patent Gel Top & Tails for a chip-free and long lasting wear followed by Nail Foundation to the nails; painting a diagonal stripe of butter LONDON Nail Lacquer in Alabaster Gaze {available april 2014}, Katie filled in the top-half of the nail {with two coats}. finally, she finished the look with Patent Gel Top & Tails to give the nail a cohesive shine and a dab of Handbag Holiday Cuticle Oil.
