Hi Fab Friends!

Yesterday, I had the amazing opportunity to have super talented celeb nail artist Naomi Yasuda do my nails! Japanese born Naomi has been a nail artist for 9 years and studied at Chunichi Beauty College in Nagoya, Japan, where she is from.  Naomi has graced the hands of Lady Gaga, Amanda Lepore, Alicia Keys, Cassie, Katy Perry, Kelly Osbourne, Keri Hilson Kim Catrall (for Sex and the City 2), FENDI, Chanel, NYLON, Vogue, Elle Magazine- the list goes on!

Her salon, Hello Beautiful, is just a few blocks away from my apt in Brooklyn! I was super excited and have admired her work for some time. I love her creativity and ability to always think outside the box. Just what I needed! We had a great time and I love how my nails came out. The best part is that the nail art (made with Calgel) lasts up to a month!Fabulous! I am officially a regular : ) Thanks, Naomi!

I love bows and wanted to go with colorful design that popped!

I had a fun idea for Naomi to add Japanese characters to the design. On above middle finger- she wrote my name. And below, on my pinky, she wrote my boyfriend’s name: Obi. How Cute!

Here’s more of Naomi’s brilliant designs:

Can’t wait till next time : ) Thanks Naomi!
