We are amazed at how imaginative manicurists are, particularly backstage at New York Fashion Week . Forced to work within tight time constraints as models are being moved around like they're in a game of musical chairs, the simplest objects help to create difficult nail art. Like the nail heads used for polka dot nails at Adam Selman 's Spring 2016 show.
