Fashion and beauty is all about self-expression and experimentation. The limited edition textured 3D Nail Appliqués inspired by Marchesa runway gowns make the perfect beauty accessory! Marchesa co-founders Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman’s coveted couture gowns were the inspiration for Revlon’s new collection of intricate appliqués. The luxe looking nail art wraps are beautifully accented with opulent jewels and dainty beads. Now, any of us can own a piece of the red carpet by dressing up our nails in any one of these 8 gorgeous on-trend designs.

Each package contains 18 UV-cured nail wraps that fits most nail sizes as well as a mini nail file and cuticle stick. Not only are these easy to apply (I’ve raved about nail “stickers” before) but there is also no drying time required, which is always a plus when you are pressed for time. What an easy and chic way to bring fashion to your fingertips. I recommend taking your time with the application of these and following the steps below to ensure optimal wear:

1. Start off with a clean, dry surface. Never apply if your nails are dirty/oily. Take a few minutes to shape, buff and clean your nails quickly beforehand.
2. Determine which of the different appliqués you are going to apply to each nail. Try selecting a size slightly larger than the nail itself if possible.
3. Peel off one appliqué at a time and press it onto the nail ensuring that you do not go past the cuticle area or onto the skin. Gently stretch it over the edge of your nail.
4. With the nail file, gently file off any excess using a sideways motion
5. Add a topcoat if desired – I found that this step actually extended wear 
6. To remove your manicure, gently peel off from the corner near the cuticle 

The Revlon by Marchesa Nail Art 3D Jewel Appliqués deliver salon-like nail art quality manicures with little to no effort. You can easily create a variety of different nail looks using these (i.e. use over top of coloured polish or on their own over bare nails; you can also cut these and apply them just on the tips). My Marchesa Moment usually lasts approximately 4 days before the “stickers” start to peel at the tip/side of the nail. Not bad at all for affordable & fashionable nail art! (I do have to point out that my lovely husband does all of the dishes in my household and I’m sure that helps to maintain my manicure longer). Thanks hunny!

Below are some of my favourite gowns from the couture house. The dresses I chose are breathtakingly beautiful and much like the appliqués, they feature opulent colours, rich metallics and intricate prints….making them true masterpieces.
