Designer Nails - A New Revolution

Designer Parabal Gurung has partnered with the Sally Hansen company to turn his runways fashions into a new level of nail art. I read in Vogue that his prints "would be available at drugstores nationwide". I went out in search of these prints. I had no luck finding them. I went as far as; going to the nearest Walgreen's "Beauty Specialist" and showing her the add in Vogue. She took my number saying she would call me if they came in. She never called.



From the Vogue Article.

I continued my search for the designer prints at lots of different drugstores. I felt like a crazy person asking sales associates who had no idea what I was talking about........do they have a copy of that Vogue.....so I can show them.......CRAZY!


The two prints: 1.) Good Morning Glory 2.) Sweet Marbel Flooret


The newest collection stand at a drugstore.

 I finally found one of the prints online. Now that I have it, I am going to save it for a special occasion. Maybe Treasure Island.I was glad to find one of the Parabal Grung Prints on E-bay, but Amazon.com had great prices on all the other prints in two packs, and drugstores nationwide carry all sorts of prints.


I purchased the Good Morning Glory print.

 I decided it would be wise to invest in some other Salon Effects. You know, to practice. I also stumbled onto some great nail stickers. I loved both products, huge fan! I have bought several since. They lasted through a day in the vegetable garden. That is pretty impressive!!



This print is "Mod About You". I love it! The Chanel sticker is from this great website:

Other designers have collaborated with Sally Hansen before, there was a recent hit with Avril Lavigne's Salon Effects collection.


Putting them on. SO quick and easy to use!

This takes me to a place of Fashionista dreams, and hope. What if designers like Missoni made Salon Effects? I could die happy...............for real, bury me in that. Recently Chanel had an interesting accessory, body tattoos. I love Karl and I think this was Fashion Genius! I kinda think this is what Designer Sally Hansen Salon Effects are............Nail Genius!


Chanel body tattoos.

Designer nails are not new to the world of Nail Art, there have been amazing nails for years. You can have your nails done in: Chanel, Gucci, Hello Kitty and so many more.



Awesome Nails!!! Chanel & Hello Kitty.

Think about it.......Designers could have a new nail collection every season, this could be a future challenge on project runway, and you could get a piece of a designers collection for $10. It has always been a trend to match your nails to something; your bag, your lipstick, your shoes. Why not your favorite designer labels, or your favorite runway print. Not to mention what a profitable venture it would be. I would love to see my Fashionista dreams become a reality!

Would you rock Designer Nails? If so WHO?????
