NIGHTMARE collection technique book
BRING THESE NIGHTMARES TO LIFE with Color Therapy! The work of visionary filmmaker Tim Burton has inspired many artists including Deb Gavin, Keratin Complex s International Artistic Director for Color Therapy. Deb re-envisioned Burton s animated film Nightmare Before Christmas into a collection of five startling looks featuring vivid hair colors contrasted with dark backgrounds. Modern Salon featured the collection in their October 2015 Color Issue, using Ocean Storm for the cover. Deb s goal for the Nightmare Collection looks that create emotion was achieved using Color Therapy tools in intense formulations and strategic placements to keep the finishes real and not punk-rock or neon, but still strong. Read on for all the information and instructions you ll need to re-create these inspirational looks on your own clients!
