RITA ORA by Naomi Yasuda
This eye-catching, edgy look was created using Green Flash Licorice, a rich and solid black shade that elevates the fierce and sultry look worn by Rita Ora. The inspiration for this look stems from Rita’s close relationship to Karl and her desire to memorialize him in a glamorous way by featuring a look that resembled the appearance of deconstructed Chanel necklaces.

The long, sleek silhouette of the nails feel classic, where the hard metal grommets and dark colour created using Green Flash Licorice gives a feeling of toughness. This look was perfectly paired with fingerless gloves to give an amazing overall look that was both elegant and strong.

FLORENCE PUGH by Dawn Sterling
This cool took inspiration from the “beauty and edge” that Karl blended so well, along with a little bit of Florence’s humor and playfulness. A realistic image of Karl and his cat was showcased on the ring finger, against an elegant, neutral base coat created using Green Flash Milky White.
