Summary
“Try colors you wouldn’t normally wear. It’s not permanent, it’s not a tattoo. And you might realize that actually, that green or that yellow goes with your clothes so much better than the red or nude does.” - Sylvie Macmillan on how to step out of comfort zones & try new colors for your nails.
I had to share some extras from my conversation in London with super-talented nail technician Sylvie Macmillan. We talk about the debilitating effect of too many options at the nail salon, SNS dipping powder (and how hygienic it may or may not be), holographic nails, matte nails, and choosing a color and sticking to it with conviction! Does your mani have to match your pedi? And what’s breathable polish anyway?
