@thuybnguyen gave Nicole a sophisticated manicure using press-ons in a medium nude hue that she accentuated with velvety soft skin using
@joonbyrd award-winning Confetti Sky Hand Treatment.
In order to keep the focus on her sparkling dress, Nicole’s makeup and manicure were kept neutral and understated. “It was about a quiet, subtle, and elegant moment,” says Nguyen. “No drama necessary for her nails because she stays serving it for us.” Knowing her hands would be a focus thanks to the dramatically feathered cuffs of the gown, Nguyen had to make sure that Nicole’s skin was perfectly hydrated, luminous, and smooth.
Confetti Sky—with its advanced formula developed by dual board-certified dermatologist Dr Alexis Granite, features firming peptides, encapsulated vitamin E, and licorice root—was the perfect solution for softer, smoother, more youthful looking hands. It intensely hydrates without leaving a greasy residue and has been clinically proven to help improve the appearance of dark spots on the skin. It also is infused with the rich scent of chocolate, sandalwood, rose, coconut, and star anise, which has been shown to have a mind-body connection that helps reduce cellular stress and inflammation in the skin.
By prepping Nicole’s hands with Confetti Sky, Nguyen ensured Nicole’s manicure not only looked flawless, but that Nicole was mentally prepped and pampered for the stress that comes with being a co-chair of fashion’s biggest night of the year.
