CND partnered with Brittney Boyce to provide Kim Kardashian's manicure at GQ’s annual 'Man Of The Year' event. Kim’s long brown nails are understated, yet edgy, perfect for the Fall or the holiday party season.
“We wanted to keep Kim’s nails neutral while also complimenting her outfit for the event. As Kim is GQ’s ‘Man of the Year’, we wanted to stay within the thematic of something ‘masculine’ but still elegant with the long coffin tips that really help to elongate her hands.”
– Brittney Boyce, Celebrity Nail Artist
