The 3.1 Phillip Lim nails by Angi Wingle turn the traditional beige-and-white manicure on its’ head. The CND nail artist reverses the French to complement the designer's Fall 2011 biker-inspired collection. The polish plays to the feminine shapes and curvy silhouettes on the runway by incorporating a round crescent at the top of the nail bed. The CND Desert Suede was used as the sandy beige base, and a new fall color, Midnight Sapphire, was brushed on in the half-moon arc.
The inspiration behind the 3.1 Phillip Lim nails by Angi Wingle, dubbed "Yazuka’s Flesh and Ink," is explained in the video above.
