Top manicurists for essie headed backstage at several Paris Fashion Week shows - including Lanvin, Vanessa Seward, and Alexis Mabille - to add the finishing touches to the models with chic, sophisticated nail looks. At each show, the overall tone of the collection was used as an influence when choosing the complementary essie polishes to best enhance both the look and feel of the show.

Lanvin

At Lanvin, essie manicurists used ballet slippers to create a soft, blush-pink, neutral nail that added to the overall "cool-girl" vibe of the collection.
