Interview With Britney Tokyo
JGB Editor: “What are some of the nail art trends you’re noticing for Fall 2014?”
Britney Tokyo: “Short nails are making a comeback, the ones with no extensions. Gel nail polish is also peaking, in deep colors like olive, burgundy and smoky grey.”
JGB Editor: “Do you have a favorite nail trend this season?”
Britney Tokyo: “I’m such a fan of gel paint design and using Swarovski crystals. When using crystals, I generally pick a color that’s different from the chosen nail polish and decorate one nail from each hand. In the winter, I like using silver studding, and in the Summer I tend to use more gold studding.”
JGB Editor: “Your favorite nail polish color?”
Britney Tokyo: “I love classic red.”
JGB Editor: “Nail polish brands, any favorite ones?”
Britney Tokyo: “Yes, Dior is my favorite! …oh, and Formula X is also a great brand.”
JGB Editor: “Vanessa Hudgens is one of your clients. Who, now, is your most recent celebrity client?”
Britney Tokyo: “Lily Allen.”
