Trend Alert: Chrome Nails

BellaSugar — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 13:00:56 PDT

Leave it to Rihanna, the queen bee of nail polish, to take an opaque, shimmery metallic color to the next level. Chrome is more of a powerful gold-and-silver version of its true silver sister gunmetal and it is also much darker than pale gray.

I still can't quite believe that metallic nails are still this much of a sensation. Even LC can't get enough of glittery metallic nails! Below are a couple of rocker-cool chrome polish suggestions for Summer. Enjoy!

Essie Steel-ing the Scene ($8) is a bronzey-pewter (effectively a chrome) shade of nail polish that contains flecks and packs a lot of punch. For those of you who are too shy to wear this on your nails, it makes for a great toenail color.

Tropez Super Pearl Nail Enamel in Black Pearl ($1.99) is a deep, opaque gray that looks amazing with one sheer coat of Tini Beauty's Gold Haze Topper as a topcoat. The result is a metallic, high-shine glossy finish - and the best part is that it's a unique color!

Jaime Richards — Wed, 20 Jul 2011 15:48:43 PDT

Jennifer Aniston always looks like she just returned from a fabulous beach vacation, but sometimes the star gets a little help elsewhere to achieve her signature golden glow. For the Horrible Bosses premiere in London earlier today, her sexy luminous look was in part thanks to her longtime makeup artist, Angela Levin, who used St. Tropez's new Gold Illuminator ($23) as her secret weapon. "It's so subtle, but makes all the difference," Levin explains. So to see her expert tips on how you can re-create Jennifer's entire red-carpet makeup palette, just keep reading.

Joseph Altuzarra Talks Resort '12, His Holiday Wish List, and Why He Loves Parka Coats

Brittney Stephens — Wed, 16 Nov 2011 04:00:16 PST

Joseph Altuzarra is one of the coolest, most talented new designers out there right now - as evidenced by his 2011 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund win just a couple nights ago. He has quickly become known for his sexy, utilitarian take on feminine dressing, and his uncomplicated approach to separates. For Resort, Altuzarra went slightly conservative, but still youthful giving off a polished, French insouciant vibe - punctuated by short formal dresses, cropped, shrunken day jackets, and sleek, feminine skirt suits. We viewed the line during a sit-down brunch hosted by Neiman Marcus San Francisco and the designer, and we were delighted to see the sweet, classic-cool pieces up close and personal.

FabSugar: What's your favorite part of this collection?
Joseph Altuzarra: The eyelet! We did a lot of classic eyelets from Switzerland that are hand-embroidered, and also some really cool digital eyelet prints and knit eyelet pieces as well. Putting together the moodboard, we knew we wanted to do a ton of eyelet, and overall wanted a very St.-Tropez, Brigitte Bardot feeling. We also injected a '90s vibe into it, because we wanted it to have a connection to Fall as well. Resort is much more tied to what the customer wants, and because there isn't a show you can design less editorially, and more commercially - which is a great thing.

Shirtless Hugh Jackman Avoids Irene With a Family Trip to St. Tropez

Katie Henry — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 03:05:00 PDT

It was an ab spectacle on the beach of St. Tropez yesterday when Hugh Jackman stripped off his shirt and jumped in the water with his kids, Ava and Oscar, and wife Deborah-Lee Furness. Their well-timed vacation got the family of four, and their French bulldog, out of NYC just in time to avoid the effects of Hurricane Irene. St. Tropez seems to be one of Hugh and Deborah's favorite getaway destinations; it's their second stop along the South of France in less than a month. Hugh drew the attention of fans during a sexy stroll along Beach Pampelonne earlier this Summer, and his toned abs are getting your votes in this year's PopSugar shirtless bracket - there's only one day left to fill out your ballot to be entered to win $1,000 from J.Crew! Hugh's next film, Real Steel, is slated for an October release, though still no word on when we'll see him share the big screen with Jennifer Garner in their unreleased political spoof, Butter.

Elton John and David Furnish Take Baby Zachary Yacht Hopping in St. Tropez

Lauren Turner — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 10:39:03 PDT

Elton John boarded a yacht in St. Tropez today with his husband, David Furnish, and their young son, Zachary, who was ready for the water in a life jacket. The threesome headed off to a friend's boat docked near the coast of France. David and Elton have been enjoying time on their own luxury vessel this Summer. Elton and David were joined by Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, along with their twins, earlier this month, and the two families lounged in the sun and explored the Mediterranean together. NPH and his partner have since parted ways from their famous friends, but it looks like Elton and David's getaway isn't over yet as they continue to relax overseas with other pals like British comic David Walliams and his bikini-clad supermodel wife, Lara Stone.

Kate Moss was barefoot and decked out in all black to lunch with friends in St. Tropez today. Jamie Hince was with his wife, Kate, as she and her hairstylist BFF James Brown walked up to Club 55 with wallpaper designer and socialite Meg Mathews, who rocked a pair of printed pants. The gang seems to be having a blast, with James tweeting, "I'm loving life today!" Meg echoed the sentiment, writing, "Sun, sea, best friends - what more can a girl want?" They visited a restaurant despite apparently having their own chef, Sean Paul Redding, on board their yacht. Kate has been in the South of France for the last week or so, and Jamie was able to join in on the fun once he wrapped up a Japanese and American leg of his tour with The Kills.

Princess Beatrice and her boyfriend Dave Clark spent Saturday and Sunday on a yacht off the coast of St. Tropez. Beatrice and Dave were spotted strolling through the French town on Friday, and it looks like they kept their vacation going over the weekend. They boarded a small boat that took them to their larger vessel on Saturday and yesterday they changed into new outfits to hang out on the deck. Beatrice and Dave have been all about their relaxing trips this Summer since they already spent a few days in Cap d'Antibes last month. The duo are just one of the exciting royal couples to watch since Prince William and Kate Middleton's North American tour has captured plenty of attention stateside. They wrapped up their travels yesterday and have since returned home to the UK.

Princess Beatrice wore a floppy hat and a maxi dress as she walked the streets of St. Tropez today with her boyfriend, Dave Clark. The couple headed to the French Riviera for the second time in recent weeks. Princess Beatrice and Dave Clark vacationed in Cap d'Antibes late last month but headed back to their native England last week, sitting in the stands for a Wimbledon match. While Princess Beatrice and Dave soak up the sun in the South of France, Prince William and Kate Middleton continue their North American tour. The royal pair said goodbye to Canada earlier today and will land in LA late this afternoon. Their weekend in California will be star-studded, with celebrities from Tom Cruise to Tom Hanks expected to make their acquaintance at a BAFTA-hosted gala, but will also include some philanthropy. We'll be there on Sunday as Kate and Will attend a jobs fair for veterans and military spouses.
