Self-expression comes to life in many forms – from the way we indulge in our favorite treats to the way we dress, style our hair and paint our nails. Magnum ice cream, the chocolatiers of ice cream, is collaborating with female-founded, independent beauty brand, Nails.INC to launch a line of six chocolate-scented nail polishes inspired by the new Magnum ice cream Duet Bars.
Magnum ice cream Duet Bars are the first ice cream bar to be dipped in two different types of chocolate and are available in three indulgent flavors: Almond, Chocolate and Cookie. Inspired by the Duet Bars’ chocolate layering, Magnum ice cream x Nails.INC unveils three sets of polish duos in a variety of creamy shades that encourage fans to explore their own layers and indulge in who they are through nail art.
Meet the polishes:
- Almond Duet: Recreate the sweet and crunchy coating of the Almond Duet Bar with Glazed Almond, a buttery shade of light brown and Double Chocolate, a rich dark brown.
- Chocolate Duet: Bring the Chocolate Duet Bar to life with Raspberry Swirl, a vibrant hot pink paired with White Chocolate, a silky light pink.
- Cookie Duet: Inspired by the Cookie Duet Bar, this pairing comes with Crunchy Cookie, a quintessential beige and Classic Chocolate, the perfect chocolate-y brown.
“As a nail artist, I’m always looking for over-the-top ways to express myself,” says Mei Kawajiri. “I love to incorporate sensory experience into my designs, so I was thrilled when Magnum ice cream teamed up with Nails.INC to create richly pigmented and chocolate-scented, polishes – allowing me to showcase my favorite ice cream treats through three creative, unexpected designs.”
