NYFW: Get Deco Miami's Nails

The Deco Miami Nail Team, led backstage by Grace Kingsley of London, was busy during New York Fashion Week as it partnered with several designers as well as those involved with AMCONYC Fashion Week. As in seasons past, the designers had very specific visions of what the nails should look like and worked directly with Deco Miami founder Jules to select nail art and polish colors that would complement the pieces in their SS18 collections.
