2017 Nails Magazine Cover Tech Contest
San Jose, CA (PRWEB) January 06, 2017 -- Rochelle Dingman Owner of Shear Fashion Salon
(http://www.shearfashions.com) in San Jose, California
Placed Top 10 in January's issue of Nails Magazine-International cover tech contest for her ballet inspired nails.
The story behind the session was to photograph a ballerina and create a nail design inspired by the Swan Lake Tutu. Rochelle and Phoebe from Shear Fashion Salon had been planning for a couple years to photograph their cousin, Sammy, a ballet dancer who attends the University of North Carolina School of the Arts, June 2016 she was back home for summer break, Rochelle and Phoebe Dingman from Shear Fashion Salon and Michelle Nicole Ng from Michelle Nicole Photography traveled from the Bay Area, California to collaborate on a photoshoot located at FD Studios in Downtown Los Angeles. We loved FD Studio's natural light and rustic warehouse windowsills, which was exactly the look we were going for. With Shear Fashion Salon to do makeup, hair, and nails, and Michelle Nicole Photography to create the imagery, Sammy wore her Swan Lake costume along with the headpiece that was handmade by Phoebe to match Rochelle's nails, the headpiece was inspired by celebrity makeup artist Roshar, whom they met at the PHAME Expo in Los Angeles. Please visit Shear Fashion Salon web site (http://www.shearfashions.com) to see the full images that were featured in January's issue of Nails Magazine.
Also featured in the 2017 January issue of Nails Magazine is Phoebe Dingman from Shear Fashion Salon, baby chick toe inspired image, using trendy chrome powder pigment over yellow polish with hand painted design and crystals, which we photographed in Gilroy, California. In the past, Phoebe's nail creations have been inspired by cute baby animals and has found ways to execute her crazy creations-she has pushed our limits to find a photograph with real livestock.
