 A French manicure is a great, classic style of polishing fingernails. Traditionally, white paint is applied to the tips of the fingernails, and the rest of the nail is painted with a soft pink or sheer polish.
French manicures have been in fashion for years, and are often thought of as too difficult for most people to do themselves. Many women choose the French manicure because of its simplicity and the natural look it evokes. A French manicure gives women a look that goes easily from office to evening and looks great with any outfit.
With a few tricks of the trade, the right nail care products and nail polish, anyone can give themselves a French manicure at home for a fraction of the cost of the nail salon. This simple guide will help teach you how to do a French manicure the right way.

 Award season in Los Angeles is gearing up big time, what with Golden Globe nominations already announce and with the Oscar list not far behind.
Essie teamed up with the Beverly Hills Conference & Visitors Bureau to concoct a new, limited-edition nail shade called “Love, Beverly Hills xx”.
This color is as red as the carpets Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Sean Penn, Penelope Cruz and Tom Cruise will be walking on come early next year — plus those flecks of 24-karat gold in the polish are as shiny as those coveted golden statues.

 A few weeks ago, I posted that cosmetics company Uslu Airlines — founded by makeup artist Feride Uslu — was getting ready to collaborate with worldwide DJs (think Ed Banger and Rolleryboys) on a club-influenced range of nail polish.
Now comes word of Uslu Airlines’ second-round nail color collabo with German-born designer Bernard Willhelm, who is an industry favorite, having worked under iconic designers like Alexander McQueen and Vivienne Westwood.
The Uslu Airlines x Bernard Willhelm line, based on common airport destinations and hues from Willhelm’s current collection, dropped at OAK in New York recently.

 Magazines and runways used to be the number one way to spot fashion and beauty trends, but in this 2.0 digital and media age, things have shifted.
Blogs (The Sartorialist, Facehunter, Fashion Toast), video clips via web (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) and television shows (The O.C., Gossip Girl, 90210) are at the forefront of trendspotting, with bloggers and small screen stars getting to sport product, labels, color palettes and accessories firsthand before they hit the regular consuming masses.
