MTV retro nail art

Step by Step

Check out this MTV-inspired design by Lisa Lilley, using Gelish products! Lisa describes her inspiration for the nail art, saying, “I couldn’t resist doing a 80s/90s retro-inspired nail art to go with this collection as MTV around this time was the backdrop to my childhood & teenage years especially.”

Gelish and Morgan Taylor are turning up the volume and introducing the Switch On Color Collection for Summer 2020 in collaboration with pop-culture power-house MTV. This collection is inspired by MTV’s history of being at the forefront of the music industry, promoting unapologetic self-expression, and being the leading global youth brand. The range features six new vibrant summer colors in a unique, ultra-luminous shimmer finish.
