For LaQuan Smith’s FW26 Collection, the designer was inspired by structured silhouettes, sharp tailoring, and sensuality. The fashion referenced a modern James Bond girl with confidence, which extended to hair, makeup and nails.

On the nail design, lead Manicurist Gina Edwards tells The Tease, “You can’t go wrong with a classic French elevated with a high-shine, chrome finish that’s continuing to trend. The stiletto shape of the nails echoes the precision and structure seen throughout the collection.”

Read on for details on how Edwards created each of the key nail looks using KISS Nails.

Get the Look:
- Select and size KISS CORE Collection nail in Fascinating and customize shape into a sharp stiletto
- Apply nail glue to the artificial nail and the natural nail, then press down gently, repeat on all ten nails
- Leave as is for the classic French tip look, or layer on your favorite bullet chrome on top for the dark silver finish

If are into the idea of the French and chrome trends in different shades, shapes, and lengths, KISS Nails has various options such as Fairytale, One and Only, and Simple Joys from their GLAM collection.
