Essie on tour with the l'oreal colour trophy

Essie Salon Art Team members joined the backstage team at the L'Oreal Colour Trophy awards to work on the models for the regional tour fashion show, along with top design team Fyodor Golan.

Following the trend for foundation nails, where the nails are matched to the tone of the skin, a number of Essie's famous nude shades were used such as BFF, Sand Tropez, Sugar Daddy and Lady Like. This was finished off with the Matte About You top coat for an on-trend matte finish as seen at John Rocha, Philip Lim, Carolina Herrera and Helmut Lang.

Also working on the show were make-up artist Lan Ngyen-Grealis and the international hair team from Toni & Guy.
