Get The Look: Michelle Obama’s Awesome Blueish-Grey Nail Polish

Amelia McDonell-ParrySeptember 5, 2012 //

And on a completely shallow note, Michelle Obama looked amazing in a Tracy Reese dress at last night’s Democratic National Convention — but it was her nail polish that caught my eye. Upon closer inspection — I couldn’t sleep, okay? — the polish appears to be a blue-ish grey color, possibly in tribute to the Democratic Party, but more likely just further proof that she’s naturally fierce in the style department. I’m not sure what brand/color she was wearing, but I found a few similar shades — check ‘em out, after the jump! Keep reading »

The first day of school is 10 percent who your new teachers are, 90 percent your outfit. Ok, maybe 10 percent is who that new hottie is, but that can just factor right back into your outfit because you want him to notice you, obvs. And nail art is just another way to show off your awesome sauce! So, I’ve put together this slideshow of some of my fave looks from some super talented nail artists to inspire you to do up your digits for your big first day!

Here’s my back to school cool look — saddle shoes! My mom got me a fresh pair of these kicks every year for elementary school. Instead of being on my feet, this time around, I put them on Kiki T’s hands. Special thanks to the best hand model/astrologist in the world! I only wish we went to the same school back in the day….

Hey gurl, nice can! That’s what our friend Fiona from the Byrne Notice been hearing since she asked for these soda nails with fizzy glitter ombre. The sugar rush drink nails are a cool twist on the hot glitter fade trend. Amelia has been rawking gold glitter over a taupe-y nude, which is a subtle, sophisticated way to sparkle. Although, I have to say, if I could do these nails all over again, I’d put the glitter on a black nail so it looked more like soda.

I’ve heard from Fiona and Amelia, and now I would love to hear what you Frisky gals and gents would like to see next…. What kind of nail art would you like to bedazzle with?

It took me a minute to figure out what was going on with these nails, but holy Christ, they are Dr. Evil nails. As in, that woman’s pinky has a pinky on it, which is a very Xzibit meme kind of thing to do. Like, “Yo dawg, I heard you liked nails, so we put some nails on your nails so you could nail while you nail.” [Kaleigh O'Connor]

One of the saddest parts of being an adult is the lack of opportunities to use crayons, which is why I’m so stoked about this pack of Crayola nail polish, which includes eight shimmery colors in miniature bottles. It would be such a fun addition to a very grown-up cosmetics collection. Now I just need to learn how to color inside the lines. [$12, Fred Flare]

Beyonce Wears Love For Jay-Z (And Blue Ivy!) On Her Nails (UPDATE: OK, Maybe Not.)

Amelia McDonell-ParryAugust 6, 2012 //

You know, people kind of look at me like I’m, like, crazy or something when I wear my RYGOS ring, but I could show my devotion to my one true love in more extreme ways. Like Beyonce, who posted this photo to her Tumblr this weekend. Her manicure features photos of her and hubby Jay-Z, a J on one nail, a Z on the other, and the Roman numeral IV on her pinky, which is both a reference to her most recent album and daughter Blue Ivy (IV, get it?). So, you know, I pale in comparison or whatever. [I Am Beyonce]

UPDATE: J/K! Apparently, these are not Beyonce’s nails. They are a fan’s nails that Beyonce loved so much that she posted them to her Tumblr. Anyways… [Dlisted]

What recession?

Ladies and gentlemen, meet the most expensive nail polish in the world: Azature’s Black Diamond. The shimmery black formula contains 267 carats of crushed diamonds, and–yep, you read the headline correctly–one bottle will cost you $250,000. The other day I spent $12 on a bottle of nail polish and felt a little guilty and self-indulgent, so I don’t even know how to fully comprehend the fact that this exists, and that (presumably) someone is going to buy it. I mean, can you imagine? Every time you chipped your manicure on your keyboard, you’d be losing, like, a thousand dollars. Stressful. Apparently Azature is deigning to sell a department store version for $25, but I think I’ll just DIY my own by shredding up some dollar bills, mixing them into a bottle of Wet N’ Wild, and then crying myself to sleep.

In the summer, I’m all about neon toes. I’ll spare you the shot my hooves, because I love you. Here are all of my favorite day-glos on my hands. As I’ve hunted for the most saturated shades, I’ve seen some serious clunkers — even from some of my fave brands. Neons are hard pigments to get popping in nail polish form. Like all lacquers, some are better than others, but with day-glos, so many fall short of even being wearable. Who has time to apply five coats, let alone wait for them to dry?! So, I wanted to separate the men from the boys, so to speak. Here are the best and the brightest colors you can do up your digits with!

TIP: Before you apply neon polish, do a coat of an opaque nude or white to help the color really glow. In this hot shot, I’m sporting my favorite nude, Paul & Joe #25.

The 15 Best Nail Art Blogs

StylelistJuly 27, 2012 //

One of the best things about being online editors is that we get to spend hours perusing the web for inspiration (even though this may not be best for our eyesight or posture). Nonetheless, there are tons of budding makeup, hair and skincare ”experts” sharing their straightforward reviews and in-your-face tutorials. Impressed by their serious skills and online superstardom, we’ve decided to round up the best beauty blogs.

This week, we’re kicking things off with the crème de la crème in DIY nail art. From Miss Ladyfinger (who can transform any runway design to her digits) to London’s WAH Nails (famous for their mani mash-ups), you’ll get motivated to switch up your average manicure.

Now and again, you want something a little special for your nails; a boring regular manicure just won’t do. Which is why we recommend you try Ciate’s new Velvet Manicure, a special treatment for your nails that leaves them feeling velvety soft. The manicure comes complete with a soft, powdery substance that you’re supposed to coat your nails in as they dry. The result is a manicure that’s almost fuzzy. It takes a moment to get used to, but after a day or two, we were totally sold on the effect. Give it a try and see how velvet soft your nails can feel, too. [$19, Sephora]
