BTArtboxnails and beauty entrepreneur Raynell “Supa Cent” Steward have launched a limited edition press on nail collection built around two sides of personal style, the understated and the outspoken. The collection, called Confidence and Expression, pairs the bold point of view of Supa Cent with the at home nail expertise of BTArtboxnails.

The collaboration is divided into two series. Confidence leans polished and restrained, with sheer nudes, deep wine shades, modern French tips and fine gold details. Expression is more graphic, mixing abstract linework, tortoiseshell, champagne glitter and flashes of color. Confidence includes the shades Showstopper, Barely There, After Dark, Golden Hour and Unapologetic. Expression includes Honor Roll, Statement, Signature, Contour and Highlight. Each series is offered in three shapes, and every box contains all five designs, so wearers can choose coordinated looks or mix their manicures.

“Always point with confidence. Your nails are the exclamation mark,” Supa Cent said.

The collection debuted on October 3 at a Hollywood launch event attended by more than 200 nail and beauty enthusiasts. Guests tried the designs, assembled personalized manicures at DIY stations and heard Supa Cent discuss her route into entrepreneurship and her role in developing the collaboration.

Supa Cent brings to the project a career defined by self reinvention. The New Orleans native worked in restaurants and as a housekeeper before founding The Crayon Case in 2017. She built the cosmetics company for beginners who wanted professional quality makeup without intimidation, and Forbes later described The Crayon Case as a $50 million beauty business. Her audience watched much of that story unfold online, where she documented herself learning makeup, making mistakes and improving in public.

BTArtboxnails and Supa Cent first met in person in 2025 after connecting over a shared interest in nail art. Their early conversations moved quickly from favorite designs to a collection that could hold both subtle manicures and more expressive looks. Founded in 2013, BTArtboxnails develops press on nails and DIY nail systems for salon inspired manicures at home.

The limited edition BTArtboxnails x Supa Cent collection is available now at btartboxnails.com.

Bobbi Brown has joined forces with The Metropolitan Museum of Art for a limited edition holiday makeup collection that puts masterworks from the museum onto the vanity. Each product pairs a signature Bobbi Brown formula with a specific work of art from The Met collections of European Paintings and of Drawings and Prints, chosen for the harmony between the palette of the painting and the finish of the product. A first phase of the collection is available now, with additional drops releasing globally on November 12, 2026.

The centerpiece is an eye shadow palette of eight shades in matte and shimmer finishes, priced at $72, with each pan at 0.04 oz and 1.3 g. Its compact carries a detail from Landscape with Stars, painted by Cross between 1905 and 1908, set in the signature gilded frame of the brand, with a pressed design on four of the shades. The same painting appears on the Luxe Shimmer Eyeshadow in Rose Illusion, a rose gold shade with gold sparkle, priced at $45.

For the face, the Brightening Blush is a three in one multidimensional blush priced at $52, offered in Blushed Peach and Blushed Burgundy. Its compact features a detail from Mäda Primavesi by Gustav Klimt, painted in 1912 and 1913. For lips, the Luxe Lipstick case carries a detail from Pandora by Odilon Redon, painted in 1914, and the Extra Lip Tinted Balm, priced at $39, features Bouquet of Sunflowers by Claude Monet, painted in 1881. The balm gives sheer color that blooms as it adjusts to the pH of the lips, with hydrating and plumping benefits.

Global Pro Artist Cassandra Garcia created the looks for the collection. “I love this collection because it’s so iconic yet effortless,” Garcia said. “The shades are beautiful and so versatile. You can go soft and neutral or bold and dramatic with eyes and lips, and brighten any look with a touch of cheek color.”

The Bobbi Brown x The Met collection is sold at bobbibrowncosmetics.com and at Bobbi Brown counters, and the brand presents the pieces as collectible holiday gifts that earn their place on the vanity long after the season ends.
