#BSGCarnival: Summer UNITY 2016 Collection from Bio Seaweed Gel on Vimeo.

#SummerSixteen is in full effect here at Bio Seaweed Gel and we have the flashiest, brightest and most colourful treat for you.To make it even sweeter, this summer is a collaboration with one of our favourite celebrity nail artist, luxe salon owner and friend, Kandi Banks (although you might know Ms. Banks better by the name of @kandiyamz!)

Let's take a stroll through our Summer UNITY Colour Collection, CARNIVAL, a carousal of eight radiant colours, each with built-in base, colour, top + nail strengtheners all-in-one bottle:

With featured colour names Fun House, Prize Every Time, Snow Cone, Clowin' Around, KandiYamz, Merry-Go-Round, Tea Cups and Lemonade Freeze; #BSGCarnival has been one of the most memorable and absolutely fun collections we have ever had. 

Here is a look behind-the-scenes of the creation of the CARNIVAL video. 

Shoot day started off in the most ideal location, KandiLand, in the heart of Melrose Ave, LA. KandiLand is the the renowned salon of our star, Kandi. BSG Girls Hellen and Annie were onsite, alongside OC talent photographer and videographer James Truong and Lloyd Vu. 

Makeup was done by Ms. Banks herself, she is no stranger to the camera! The stunning, vivid wigs were from Powder Room D. #OOTD was cute, casual and ideal (ie. COMFY) for any hot summer Carnival day. 

Onto the NAILS: Of-course we featured none other than #269 KandiYamz from the Carnival Collection on our model. Look out for this rightfully Kandi-branded bright hot pink on all #BSGCarnival promo! With our U-Light Pro LED/UV Lamp on hand, Hellen created sculptured extensions with the BSG Clear Builder Gel and topped it off with our No-Wipe Top Gel Polish for a luminous shine all day long. 

Fun fact, we changed locations over 5 times throughout shoot day! Here are some of our favourites:

This was a fast-paced yet relaxed day! It was all laughs and smiles, our BSG team definitely vibed together creatively to bring #BSGCarnival to life. 

A BIG THANK YOU TO:
