Take your clients’ Fourth of July look to the next level.
Not everything has to be red, white and blue. For one lash stylist, being asked to create all-American lashes inspired her to throw some gold into the mix.
“I was assigned “All-American lashes,” NovaLashBrand Ambassador Neicole Van Horn says. “When I read this, I immediately envisioned this gorgeous blonde with the American flag draped around her. The girl next door, natural-looking and beautiful. I turned the vision to reality.”
To complete her lash look, Van Horn used NovaLash American Volume C Curl in sizes 8, 10 and 12 with a mix of .05 and .07 diameter. She also used NovaLash CandiedLASHES in gold.
“I chose gold because of the warm nature it gives off against her skin tone and blonde hair,” Van Horn says. “It gave her that extra sparkle to really open up her eyes. All-American Volume lashes for your all-American girl!”
For more lash inspiration, be sure to follow @lashesbyneicole and @novalashusa.
