Paul Costelloe AW25 Nails Manicure Essex

Paul Costelloe Autumn/Winter 25 Collection

London Fashion Week

The Warldorf Hilton Hotel, Aldwych London

For Autumn/Winter 2025, Paul Costelloe brings his heritage brand "Paul Costelloe Dressage" to London Fashion Week catwalk. Inspired by his life long love of equestrian skill, Paul has created a collection that reflects strength, volume, space and energy.

I once again had the pleasure of working backstage at the recent season of London Fashion Week for the Autumn Winter collection for Paul Costelloe.

Not only is Paul a lovely and very humble Irish man, his pieces are so sophisticated.

This was once of my favourite collections as I absolutely love horses... who doesn't!

It was a very early start, call time was 5.50am at the beautiful Warldorf Hilton hotel.

My alarm was set for 3.30am which was the only non enjoyable bit of my morning and day at London Fashion Week.

We had 30 models in total so it was a very busy couple of hours for all the hair, make-up, nails and styling teams. On the nail team was myself and 5 other manicurist working with celebrity manicurist Sophia Stylianou.

The nail look was a beautiful rich chocolate shade, called 'Chocolate Roulade' by

Mii Cosmetics. To achieve the nail look, it was all about the prep.

Before applying the colour, we shaped the models nails into a soft yet natural short, shape, buffed the nails to ensure the nail plate was smooth, pushed back and trimmed away any excess cuticle before applying base, two coats of colour topped off with a matte finish. Once nails were fully dry, we hydrated the models nails before walking the catwalk.

Here are a few highlights from the day and some behind the scenes too!

If you are looking to re create this nail look, all products used at the show are available exclusively at Moroccan Rose, Beauty and Nail Studio.

Side note this is normal nail polish, not gel polish.

Matte top coat and glossy top coat are both available.
