Ji Baek — the pretty and, er, polished proprietress of uber-chic Rescue Beauty Lounge in New York — went from playing professional violin to managing a restaurant to owning one of the top nail salons known in the industry.
Her client base among the fashion set burgeoned after she opened her first salon in 1999, thanks to signature nail designs in covetable patterns like Burberry plaid. In 2003, Baek decided to leave her clients to their own nail devices when they couldn’t make it into the salon by launching her own polish line throughout North America.

Cosmetics icon Bobbi Brown feted her new book Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual: For Everyone From Beginning To Pro at the Big Apple’s Bond 33 Gallery the other day with a bunch of her favorite editors.
The new tome, filled with practical beauty information, is supposed to go hand-in-hand with the academy she plans to open next year. Images from the book were blown-up extra large, hanging like art from the gallery’s walls.
