Lauren “LC” Conrad brought dark blue and black polish to the forefront. Rihanna bit back by wearing neon yellow and other brights. Now Gwyneth Paltrow — who made the six-inch stiletto and the mini her red carpet staples last year (omigod, can’t believe it’s already next year) — is sporting gray on her nails.

 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.

 The French are a sophisticated bunch, no doubt, so there’s really no wonder the chic-est looking manicure is named after them.
Victoria Beckham, Eva Longoria, Katie Holmes and Reese Witherspoon — all of whom have been seen around Hollywoodland with the telltale white tips — would rather a French manicure than the latest neon yellow shade from Essie.
 When the weather turns, aesthetics go awry.
Hair gets frizzy, skin gets dry and cuticles start to peel — not the greatest way to segue into fall/holidays seasons.

 Leave it to OPI to come up with the catchiest, tongue-in-cheek (or is that chic?) names for their nail polish.
OPI’s latest collection — La Collection De France — is an homage to the City of Lights, a place where romance lingers heavily 24/7, croissants are buttery soft and addictive, Colette is just around the corner and their First Lady is Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
