Ever since the craziness that was Meadham Kirchhoff's Spring Summer 2012 show back in September (where models were sent down the runway wearing ruffles, pastels and cartoon characters with candy coloured hair to the sounds of Hole) kitsch enthusiasts around the world have been dying to get their hands on the nail wraps worn by the models, which were created especially by Nail Rock.
Packs were given away to lucky attendees and are finally now available to buy for a limited time from Topshop (£7) - they sold out online very quickly so check your nearest/biggest store if you want to get hold of a pack!
The designs match up with certain pieces worn on the catwalk but there is a hidden shocker - yes I'm talking about the vagina design!
An interview with the designers (Messrs Ed Meadham and Benjamin Kirchhoff) revealed all - they were aiming to both celebrate and destroy what it means to be a girl. All the femininity, sugar and spice, the frills and glitter were a nod to our modern 'role models' - beauty queens, models and princesses. They took the 'frou frou' to the extreme to prove a point.
They ended up highlighting and protesting the sexualisation of and expectations laid upon young girls - which explains the vagina to an extent! I really don't think they needed to include two in the pack though haha! I love that this show can be enjoyed for the creativity, the talent and the message.
Here is how I wore my Meadham Kirchhoff nail wraps last night:
Two coats of China Glaze Electric Beat (from eBay) with a Meadham Kirchhoff cat accent nail
I don't have the longest nails so I did have to cut the design down a lot (sorry cat!). I'll probably use these with false nails next time so I can take advantage of the larger designs like the giraffe and the teddy bear. This was my first time using any Nail Rock nail wraps, and I found them really easy to use. I did find that part of the design started lifting at the edge of my nail, especially after washing my hands. I think this is possibly because I didn't press the design down properly when applying it as I was in a rush - oops!
