Nail art warriors, are you ready? The first ever Nail Art Fashion Week (NAFW 2015) will take place this March 9-15 and you’re INVITED! The difference between this and any other fashion week is that NAFW will happen globally and it’s not just for fashion VIPs, it’s for any nail art enthusiast who feels like challenging themselves to create 7 new fashion inspired nail designs.
What is NAFW 2015?
As any regular reader of this site will know, fashion is one of the main sources of nail art inspiration for me. See this, this and this posts for example. I’m also a huge fan of fashion weeks, they are so much fun and have a completely different atmosphere filled with creativity, excitement and spectical. I wanted to transfer this spirit to the nail art community for anyone who wants to participate. Consequently, the idea of running a Nail Art Fashion Week was born. It took a some time to put it all together, but finally it’s here!
NAFW 2015 Hosts
I’m so excited to announce that this year’s NAFW 2015 will be hosted by me (representing Sydney) along with 3 incredibly talented nail artists: Faustine La NPA Mouton from Paris, Bella SeizeTheNail of Stockholm and Victoria Manicurator in New York.
