POV: back of house at Thom Browne, Legion of Honor, SF. @gq #gqbowl Quiet precision, shared focus, and a team moving in sync. An honor to create with such a talented group of people, models, hair & makeup teams tailors, dressers all bringing the vision to life. Bronze nails custom-blended by me, inspired by the patina and depth of Rodin’s sculptures around us. Essential lotion on repeat, keeping hands hydrated through every look. A beautiful, considered show. Grateful for this room and this team.

Apparently my 2016 was pretty epic! • Led 14 NYFW shows with an amazing team • Sponsored by @essie as one of their first nail influencers, creating some truly fun nail art • Slayed a few red carpet looks • Fully embraced all the filters • Worked with extraordinary photographers Peter Lindbergh and Inez & Vinoodh • Listened to some great music @oslobandmusic • Cherished people who are no longer here 🤍 • Fell in love with hiking and the great outdoors • Built a cozy “nail nook” at home • Laughed and loved a lot with my husband ✨ @kerrywaynejames

Yes, it’s true, this was the trip of a lifetime. So many laughs, tears, and moments of pure wonder. From Cairo to Siwa, we traveled through incredible cities across Egypt: exploring museums and ancient temples, sailing down the Nile, floating in a salt lake, rising with the sun in a hot air balloon and riding 4x4s across the desert dunes at sunset. I couldn’t imagine sharing this journey with anyone other than this extraordinary group of humans. We were aligned in spirit, curiosity and love every step of the way. Much love to Michelle, Jeff, Isobel, Rachel, Brian, Corey and Christina. This bond for what we experienced will last forever. Thank you to our tour guide Ali at Dragonfly Tours, your leadership, warmth and deep connection to the land and its people made this experience unforgettable. And heartfelt gratitude to our spiritual guide, Yeshe @priestessyeshe Thank you for your presence, clarity and insight in every moment. Your understanding of Egyptian history and spirituality added a layer of meaning we will never forget.

Egypt 2025 has been a true trip of a lifetime a turning, a deepening, a quiet shift inside me. I arrived knowing so little and left held by the beauty, the history, the soul of a country that opened something in my own. We traveled as a circle of familiar hearts and new ones, woven closer with every temple, every sunrise, every story. What we shared felt epic, sacred, a journey offered with such generosity, a gift that will echo in us for years to come. #cairo12

A semi sheer, soapy nail reads clean and elevated on camera. An essential for commercial & advertising work. #GelCouture delivers that flawless, quiet luxury finish every time. 🎯 @essie #fairytailor #sheerfantasy #ofcorset #insidescoop
