Rainbow Nail Art Stuns at New York Fashion Week
Fashion enthusiasts were treated to an explosion of color at the Susan Alexandra Autumn/Winter presentation during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). Renowned editorial manicurist Holly Falcone teamed up with ORLY to create breathtaking rainbow nail art that perfectly complemented the vibrant embroideries and embellishments of Susan Alexandra’s collection.
A Perfect Match: ORLY and Susan Alexandra
Holly Falcone’s collaboration with ORLY was a marriage of bold creativity and high-quality nail products. “Susan makes amazing use of color and embellishments on her bags, and the partnership with ORLY was such a great match,” says Falcone. Together, they designed nail looks that were nothing short of spectacular, featuring the standout ORLY glitter shade, Turn It Up, which truly came alive under the runway lights.
The Artistry Behind the Nails
Falcone’s process involved a thoughtful selection of ORLY’s wide range of colors, including shades like Below Zero, Snow Worries, Fresh, Glass Half Full, Holy Holo, Haute Red, Shine, and Lilac You Mean It. These were meticulously applied to create vivid patterns of colors that drew inspiration from the lively creativity of Susan Alexandra’s bags. Each nail told its own story of color, form, and texture.
Embellishments That Captivate
In addition to the vibrant colors, Falcone used ORLY’s soak-off sculpting gel and their innovative GELFX Builder in a Bottle to craft whimsical embellishments such as pearls, clouds, daisies, martinis, and cherries. The gel had the flexibility of a soft gel with the durability of a hard gel, making it an essential tool in Falcone’s artistic kit. These intricate designs lent an additional layer of playfulness and sophistication to the overall look.
The Importance of Nails at Fashion Week
Nail art has cemented itself as a crucial element of fashion week presentations, offering a complementary layer of expression and style. At events like NYFW, it is not simply about the clothes; the nails are an integral part of the ensemble, contributing to the thematic storytelling of the collection.
The ORLY Legacy in Nail Art
ORLY has been at the forefront of nail innovation for decades. Under the guidance of creative professionals like Holly Falcone, the brand continues to push the boundaries of what nail art can achieve, demonstrating that nails are not just an accessory, but a canvas for art. This partnership with Susan Alexandra is a testament to ORLY’s commitment to color, quality, and creativity.
Conclusion

Holly Falcone and ORLY had not just created nails that complemented a collection; they set a colorful precedent for future fashion shows.
