Get The Look – Lauren Conrad’s Spring Green Nails
A few weeks back, Fanatic Amelia contacted me asking about the nail polish Lauren “LC” Conrad was wearing at an event. I couldn’t help but notice the bright teal tone popping against her outfit and had to know for myself what color it was. I certainly had some guesses in regards to similar shades but I love putting my sleuthing hat on to track down a color.
Thanks to Lauren’s makeup artist, Amy Nadine, I found out that my fave Celebrity Green Manicurist, Jenna Hipp, was responsible for her standout manicure. Jenna tended to Lauren’s digits for a Seventeen Magazine cover shoot and used a brand new shade that’s launching this Spring. Check it out along with backstage shots from Jenna, after the jump! |
Katy Perry’s Blinged Out Nails by Kimmie Kyees
It would be safe to say that I’m involved with Twitter. I love seeing what all my blogging friends are up to, interacting with fellow Fanatics and, being pop culture obsessed, keeping tabs on my fave celebs, especially ones with a passion for polish.
Katy Perry is a perfect example since she posts shots of her nails on the regular. Remember her groovy flower power Minx manicure I wrote about last July? Well she has topped herself this time Fanatics. Last week, Katy showed off the blingtastic look that she wore as host of the MTV EMAs in Berlin. With that amount of sparkle going on, her nails should come with a warning to wear shades before viewing. We’re talking full-on glitz. Being the nosy nelly that I am, I had to get the deets on this look and thankfully Celebrity Manicurist Kimmie Kyees was available to answer all my questions.

Let’s Whip It, Whip It Good!
 A few weeks ago, my friend invited me to a special screening of Whip It, Drew Barrymore’s directorial debut about the world of roller derby. You see, my friend is a member of the Burning River Roller Girls and they were at the screening to explain more about derby and their experiences in the league. |
 Of course, as with any movie I watch, I’m always on the lookout for some stand out nail color. With the amount of makeup and costuming involved in derby, I expected to see some crazy colors on screen. What I didn’t expect was to find the most interesting polish pop up on the only non-roller girl in the movie, Alia Shawkat’s character Pash.One of the first things my friend and I commented on after the movie was her electric blue nails (she’s a fanatic too). That set me on a mission to find out more about the color and thanks to Makeup Department Head Eryn Krueger Mekash I’ve got the scoop! |
Get The Look – Blake Lively in Marie Claire
 Everyone’s favorite Gossip Girl, Blake Lively, is on the cover of December’s Marie Claire and what’s the first thing I notice? Is it her perfect flowing locks, the subject of hair envy worldwide? Is it her flawless complexion that makes me curse ever going near a tanning bed? Is it her sparkling blue eyes that make my almost-black peepers seem boring? Of course not! It’s her nails!
Finally some nail color on a cover! Not just another boring nude. Even if it’s just a thumb I’ll take it because that means you’ll see more inside. Maybe it’s just me but Marie Claire seems to be one of the few mags that doesn’t shy away from color on their cover girls and to that I say bravo. Of course it also helps to have my genius pal, Celebrity Manicurist Elle, on set to influence that decision. Thanks to Elle, I’ve got the scoop on Blake’s nail color straight from the set. Find out what she’s wearing and discover Blake’s penchant for polish after the jump! |
Get The Look – Jenna Ushkowitz in Glee
 Where are my fellow Gleeks in the nail polish loving community? I’ve been obsessed with Glee ever since its premiere last Spring after American Idol. I’ve watched each episode multiple times and have downloaded all the songs on iTunes. I even got the boyfriend to watch. It may be time for an intervention.
You may remember that I wrote about the cast and their nails last May. Ever since, I’ve been trying to figure out what shade of blue Jenna Ushkowitz wears as Tina. Thanks to Glee’s Makeup Department Head, Eryn Krueger Mekash, I now know. Find out after the jump! |
