Helvetica: The Perfume
Every hipster’s favorite font is now wearable. Helvetica: The Perfume is a real thing, guys. The self-titled “scent of nothing” comes in minimal packaging, and has minimal scent as well. The scent’s designers claim the perfume is made up of elements stripped down to their purest forms: “air, water, and you.” $62 is a steep price […]
Manicure Monday: Shades of Purple
If you haven’t been able to tell by now, I’m obsessed with nail studs. I love how easy they make it to add a pop of color and texture to your manicure. I received some more studs in this month’s Nail Art Society kit – this time, it included small gold squares – and I […]
Manicure Monday: Gilded Gold
For me, manicure inspiration can come from so many places. My manicure is my way of showing how I’m feeling, following trends, and expressing myself. Sometimes I tie it into current events, holidays, or even what I’m wearing. The inspiration behind this week’s manicure? Fashion.
The Hunger Games x Covergirl Capitol Collection
One of my favorite things about makeup is that you can completely reinvent your look with it: it’s not about fixing flaws or making yourself into a different person, it’s just seeing the artistic creations you can come up with! The Covergirl Capital collection is the hottest makeup collaboration out there, perfectly timed with the […]
Manicure Monday: Mad About Plaid
There’s nail art, and then there’s nail art. It can be as simple or as complex as you make it. You can do a simple French manicure or you can create a complicated design. This week’s manicure? It’s pretty complicated – but that didn’t stop me from trying to tackle it. If you’re patient enough (and […]
Manicure Monday: On the Dot
As I’m sure you all know by now, I can’t get enough of nail art. I’m always looking for new ideas, techniques, and styles. Admittedly, when there isn’t a holiday or big event going on, sometimes it can be hard to think of new, creative nail art ideas. Enter Nail Art Society. I recently signed […]
Manicure Monday: Little Mermaid
For Halloween this year, my team at work went as hipster Disney princesses, and I was a hipster Little Mermaid. I went all out with my costume – long red wig, suspenders, boots, thick glasses, fork … I mean, dinglehopper – and all I needed was the perfect manicure to go with it! I decided […]
Manicure Monday: Superstition
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I absolutely hate being scared and I can’t stand blood, gore, or spiders, but there’s something about getting to be anything you want for a day – and being able to eat as much candy as you want. Last year, we created a manicure that emphasized the scary […]
Manicure Monday: BCA Strength
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I plan on showing my support for the cause the best way I know how – with a manicure. Last year, each of our editors painted our pinkies pink to show our support, and this year, I’m going all out – all pink everything. Whether you try this […]

Looking for something bewitching to do to your nails this Halloween? I don’t know if I can help you get actual witchy nails, but I can share one of the coolest nail polish collaboration ideas ever. Nail guru Deborah Lippmann was inspired by the hit Broadway musical Wicked, and she created three totally awesome new […]
