We were asked to sculpt a set of pink and whites by hand and then take a photograph. We were then asked to take another set of step by steps and upgrade my Pink and Whites into a haute couture
I wanted to do the nails with the haute couture in a way if defined the meaning of the real haute couture. It means the art of sewing everything by hand and importing only the finest fabric. I took looks from the runway and make it big and bold, yet classy. I wanted to follow with the element of everything being handmade and made all of the art myself and with the same quality acrylic that I used on my pink and whites. I did not add any crystals so I wouldn't overpower my craftsmanship.
