Glitterbels Makes Its Mark at NYFW with Kate Barton + THE BLONDS
This season, nails took center stage at New York Fashion Week thanks to Glitterbels, the innovative U.K.-based nail brand quickly becoming the name to know. With trend-driven shades, creative artistry, and at-home accessibility, Glitterbels proved it’s the next brand everyone will be talking about.
On the Kate Barton Spring/Summer 2026 runway, Glitterbels founder Annabel Maginnis and her team created sleek, chrome-kissed manicures using the brand’s signature Brush On Builder Gel in Candy Pie, DreamCure Lamp, and chromes layered for a high-shine finish. The result was a runway look that balanced modern minimalism with high-fashion detail—and can be recreated at home with just a few steps.
Glitterbels also made its official U.S. debut as nail sponsor of THE BLONDS. Led by Maginnis alongside nail pioneer Jan Arnold, the backstage artistry matched the show’s bold, cinematic designs. Standout nail looks included Seductress (serpent-inspired), Tigresa (fierce tiger energy), and Venus Traps (a nod to carnivorous plants). Each design transformed nails into statement accessories, extending the storytelling from head to fingertip.
With Hollywood-inspired styles and trend-led innovation, Glitterbels set the tone for nails as a true runway accessory—proving that beauty begins at your fingertips.
