Backstage Beauty | The Daily Nail – Creatures of the Wind - F/W 2013
"We found inspiration in the Memphis-Milano 1980s art movement. It was groundbreaking to art - the bold, sharp contrast of materials and color - and we believe our nail designs are as well by applying that concept to a 40's English working class uniform silhouette." - Jan Arnold for CND
