-Henri Matisse


Even though I was already late for work one morning this week, I couldn't leave the house without quickly perusing one of my favorite websites...2 Bitchez Deep. I know, I know...amazing site. I'm addicted. While quickly scanning the page I saw something that made me slam on the brakes. Nail art. Not just any nail art...FIERCE nail art. Omg... These nails are bad bitch nails. The kind of nails that don't just catch your eye, they DEMAND your attention. I quickly did some research on the artist. Her name is Dominique Renee and she is just as fierce as her creations. Mz.Dominique is talented, gorgeously glam and cooler than the other side of pillow. I know this because I reached out to her and she graciously replied. We corresponded via her twitter and I was delightfully surprised to learn a few things: 1) Like I said she's as cool as the creative claws she designs 2) She's blogger friendly and 3) She lived in my hometown for a period of time. She has agreed to an interview that I will be conducting this weekend but tonight I wanted to at least show you her designs and get you acquainted with her...

Have a look at these dope designs...

~$130,000 Nail Polish?! True Story...~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

“It is impossible to overdo luxury” -French Proverb

"Model's Own" has created the world's most expensive nail polish available for purchase at Frost Of London's jewelry store for a staggering $130,000. "Gold Rush" (yes, that's what they named it) comes in a bottle that features a cap hand-crafted from yellow gold and has a total of 1,118 diamonds inlaid. The color of said polish? Wait for it... Gold. Shocking. Apparently it glistens, sparkles, glimmers...and all that jazz. *Rolls eyes* You detect a bit of smart ass oozing through this post? So perceptive... Look, I'm a diamond loving Glamour Whore but if I'm spending $130,000 of my or someone else's hard earned money for a bottle of nail polish it's not going to be some tacky frosty gold color, it's going to be a custom shade with lifetime refills named after moi. And it damn well better be chip-proof. That's all I'm saying. Here's the part that cracks me up. For $130,000 you can purchase "Gold Rush" Couture from Frost Of London but for $5 you can purchase the "Gold Rush" Ready To Wear version at www.modelsownit.com I. Just. Can't.

~This Falls Under "I Kid You Not..." : The 2010 Nailympics ~

Follow my blog with bloglovin´

"The things that stand out are often the oddities." -Pierre Salinger

The 2010 Nailympics (Yes. It's a real event) were held this weekend in London as part of The Olympia Beauty Show and I just had to share... because if I had to look at it...so do you.


I like the idea of such an event but some people got super carried away. There are Buicks that aren't as big as some of these nail decorations...

I cannot...








These are actually, although non-functional of course, kinda fly...

~Yes. No. Maybe.~

“We probably wouldn't worry about what people think of us if we could know how seldom they do.” -Olin Miller

YES....
Drew Barrymore is Harper's Bazaar October 2010 cover girl and looks AMAZING... This maybe the best she has ever looked. Gertie has come a long way...



NO...
Lucite sneaker heels?! Really Ciara? What kind of fuckery?! Seriously... I wanna know.



MAYBE...
Katy Perry rocked a "photo" manicure at the 2010 VMAs. Can't decide if it's horrid or kind of dope. I'd probably be able to form a opinion a lil easier if it wasn't Russell Brand in the pix...

~Jizz On My Hands? No. But Maybe On My Toes...~

Lois Griffin: Are you asking me what I think you're asking me?
Bill Clinton: Well, that depends on what your definition of the word "Jizz" is.
-"Family Guy" (2007)

Earlier today I noticed some of my favorite beauty bloggers were tweeting about the white nail polish trend... Although it didn't seem like a shade I would like for myself I decided to research it to see if it was something I would recommend for my clients and readers... And for the most part the answer was...NO.

However, I did come across a bottle of the aforementioned polish that I will be ordering...simply for the name itself.
BLEACHBLACK, the geniuses behind a favorite polish of mine deliciously titled "Dickweed" has done it again...their contribution to the white nail polish trend is called...wait for it...
JIZZ. Yeah, I said JIZZ. I have to have it, simply for the name alone. Yes, I am that juvenile...but whatever...I'm also fucking fabulous so it all evens out. Besides, even though I do not like the look of white polish on finger nails I do think it would make a fabulous shade for a summer pedicure. Available via Need Supply Co.
