How to Wear Purple Nail Polish

I don't think I need to tell you that a certain beigey-gray shade is hot for Spring. The shade, which has just a hint of purple, is perfect if you love your polish to be neutral. But if you're looking to do purple in a more notice-me kind of way, you've got options. Take Kelly Osbourne and Keke Palmer, who recently wore low-key matte-toned versions of the icy hue. If it's more flash that you're Read more

That's why I'm digging Ginnifer Goodwin's smoky lilac nails she Read more

Beauty Mark It! A Deep Purple Nail Polish

A friend of mine gave me a bottle of NYX Nail Polish in Carol, $4 (bottom row, fourth polish from left) over the holidays. I've been using it since December (mainly on my toe nails) and believe it or not, it is already running out! What I like about it is that it is still pretty trendy since it's dark, but it's not so dark that it looks black. Also, when you take it off, it doesn't stain your Read more

When bright blossoms abound and the days are getting longer, there's nothing as retro-fab as red nail polish. Back in the days before shades like purple, green, and tangerine were de rigueur for the season, there were reds meant just for this time of year. And this season, bright reds have made a huge comeback. They're a chic choice for those who want a pop of juicy color, and if you pick the Read more

Pisces Beauty Products

While Aquarians may be the popular ones, Pisceans, who fall under the 12th sign of the zodiac, are some of the most empathetic souls around. Imaginative and understanding, people born under Pisces can also be described as romantic, comforting, intuitive, and, at their worst, even tortured.
