Introduction
In a vibrant collaboration, editorial nail artist Miss Pop created stunning OPI rainbow manicures for M Missoni’s Fashion Week presentation. Drawing inspiration from M Missoni’s iconic knitwear patterns and Margherita Missoni’s Italian heritage, Miss Pop crafted eye-catching designs using a spectrum of shades from the renowned OPI Mexico City collection.
The Creative Process
Miss Pop, known for her dynamic and distinct nail art, was tasked with creating over 60 unique manicures for the show’s models. The designs featured vivid colors and playful motifs, perfectly aligning with Missoni’s bold fashion ethos.
Inspiration from Missoni
Missoni’s signature pattern knitwear served as the muse for Miss Pop’s artistic expression. To create this kaleidoscope of colors, Miss Pop utilized OPI’s vibrant selection from the Mexico City collection to evoke the playful spirit synonymous with Missoni. This included hues like “Mariachi Makes My Day” and “Telenovela Me About It.”
Colorful Execution
“It was a blast, because this show was non-traditional,” Miss Pop stated. The collection’s showcase setting, the famed Pink’s Hot Dogs, turned into a canvas for this colorful takeover, amplifying the whimsical charm of OPI’s palette.
Steps to Recreate the Manis
Step 1: Prepare and Paint
Begin by prepping the nails. Apply two coats of chosen OPI Nail Lacquer shades – including “Mariachi Makes My Day” and “Mi Casa Es Blue Casa,” assigning a different color per nail for a rainbow effect.
Step 2: Add Artistic Details
Using an art brush, paint lines inspired by Missoni’s knitwear. Place each shade on a palette, layering colors on the nails with simple strokes. Miss Pop advises clustering the colors in groups for a cohesive design.
Step 3: Final Touches
Seal your creative work with OPI Top Coat, followed by a Rapid Dry Spray to preserve the vibrant look.
Conclusion
This innovative collaboration between Miss Pop and M Missoni showcased how the world of fashion and nail art can merge spectacularly. The rainbow manicures not only celebrated Missoni’s signature style but also highlighted the unparalleled color range and quality of OPI’s Mexico City collection. Whether you’re attending a fashion show or simply experimenting at home, these vibrant looks invite creativity and flair into your personal nail art repertoire.
