About Gem Pop

Gem Pop! is a celebration of colour at its sweetest. Against a clean white background, Natalia Rej wears extra-long nails striped in candy pink, baby blue and mint, a chunky pink ring, clear stacked bangles and a bright pink off-the-shoulder top, while tiny coloured gems are scattered across her cheekbones, nose and the back of her hand.


Xenia keeps the frames close and playful: a wink behind outstretched nails, a pout, a wide laugh, a hand raised like a jewelled sculpture. Lilac and mint shadow, flushed cheeks and glossy lips by Alona Dmytrenko keep the skin fresh, so every gem and every stripe pops.
