Deborah Lippmann Brings Marrakech to Manhattan at Kate Spade | Backstage Beauty

Deborah Lippmann assured Nordstrom national beauty director, Marynell Maddox, that the staid rules of fashion just don’t apply anymore. “You can wear white after Labor Day,” she insisted. “And you can wear red in the spring.”

To accent kate spade new york’s Moroccan themed Spring collection, Lippmann turned to crimson shades. “Inspired by the rose festivals (Kelâat and M’Gouna Festival des Roses), pretty soft pinks and burgundy colors seen in the carpets and textiles, and vivid saffron and blues spotted throughout the souks in Marrakech, we practically witness the sophisticated woman strolling down the streets of NYC with a camel in tow,” enthused Lippmann. “I created a layered bordeaux, matching for hands and feet, to complement and contrast against all the rich fabric colors. The darker jewel tone dares one to be different for spring into summer, proving there are no more rules these days.”

Get the nail look from kate spade new york Spring 2017:

1. Deborah contoured naturall nails into a short, rounded shape using her Smooth Operator 4-way nail buffer.
2. To prep the nail plate, she exfoliated then hydrated the cuticle using her signature Cuticle Remover and Cuticle Oil. She then cleansed the nails with Nail Primer prior to base coat application to ensure all leftover debris was removed and the plate was clean.
3. For the base, Deborah applied a coat of Gel Lab Pro Base Coat.
4. Deborah began nail lacquer application with one coat of Cherries Jubilee, a full coverage black cherry créme. Then, she layered over top of it one coat of Lady Is a Tramp, a classic sanguine red, waiting 2 minutes to dry between each coat.
5. After waiting 2 minutes to dry, one coat of Gel Lab Pro Top Coat was applied to seal the nails and prevent chipping. The Wait is Over Quick Dry Drops were added as a finishing touch to ensure faster drying time and a flawless finish.
6. Hands and cuticles were massaged with Rich Girl SPF 25 Hand Cream and nourishing cuticle repair cream, respectively for complete hydration.

For the toes:

1. Deborah completed the above before outfitting the toes with the same Cherries Jubilee and Lady Is a Tramp layered combination. Then she sealed the toenails with Gel Lab Pro Top Coat and The Wait Is Over Quick Dry Drops.
