Emilie Heathe | Creator Series Collaboration

  • shaina bains

Emilie Heathe are a gorgeous nail polish and lifestyle brand based in New York that I've had the pleasure of collaborating with to create some unique watercolor artworks for, illustrating my take on the brand. By focusing on the brands rich, jewel toned nail polish shade, Big Night Out, I was able to create a series of illustrations encapsulating the brands organic, clean and glamorous qualities with a surrealist twist. All work showcased on the brands socials.

Whilst brainstorming ideas for the series, I fell in love with the idea of focusing on the “clean” and “natural” aspects of the brand. Alongside illustrating the most gorgeous bottle and packaging design, I decided to focus on the ingredient Bamboo which is used in Emilie Heathes products for its anti-inflammatory, strengthening and soothing properties. I also incorporated a deep earthy green shade into my chosen colour palette which helped to reinforce the raw and organic nature of the brand from my viewpoint.
Through the week long feature of my collaboration with the brand, my artwork was featured across Emilie Heathes socials in the form of feed posts, stories, highlights and reels. I also had the pleasure of answering a Q & A with the brand as well as giving some background to my craft and all the things that have inspired me and continue to along my creative journey.
