Moulin Rouge inspires nails by CND™ for The Blonds at NYFW

The Blonds SS20 show at New York Fashion Week brought Baz Lurhmann’s Moulin Rouge to life, with the nail looks created by CND^TM also taking inspiration from the musical.

This season’s The Blonds nail inspiration paid homage to the most iconic Moulin Rouge scenes and characters. Working closely with David and Phillipe Blond, the CND^TM Design Lab team and CND^TM Lead Artist for the show, Shelena Robinson, divided the nail looks into five themes worn by 28 models and celebrities taking the stage at the Al Hirshfeld Theatre.

The nails represent Bohemian elegance, laden with sparkling diamonds to create a mosaic retraction, set in bold and expressive hues for noir, rouge and precious metals. Lustful touches of flesh tones adorned with shades of creamy peach and flourishing rose embellishments burst from the nail. Just like The Blonds collection designs, the CND^TM nails were designs to invite guests to let their imagination run wild in an absinthe-fuelled setting.

“Is there a more iconic pairing than the Blonds and Moulin Rouge The Musical?!” comments Jan Arnold, co-founder and style director of CND^TM. “The moment we learned of this partnership, the CND^TM Design Lab team were set afire with inspiration and creativity. Our incredible portfolio of colour lends itself perfectly to the eccentric and extravagant aesthetic of The Blonds show this season and we were thrilled to be a part of the broadway magic.”
