The June issue of Luxury magazine hits newstands tomorrow and features a 10 page fashion editorial shot at the ultra luxurious Burj Al Arab hotel.

Poland's Next Top Model, Olga Kaczynska, was shot by photographer Mariah Jelena throughout the rich settings of the Royal Suite and Spa.

With the help of the talented beauty team including make-up artist Marisol Steward as well as Yumi Yakushijin and Aya Serino, both from Salon Nadeshiko, the shoot took on a dramatic appeal.

The Burlesque theme was perfectly captured with heavily embroidered clothing, glittering eye make-up, a tousled quiff and an overall feel of opulence.

With her expertise on all-things-nails, Serino created a full set of acrylics with ease. Incorporating her Japanese nail art techniques was a must - adding holographic pieces to the ombré peach to red nails.
