Get The Nail Look – Beyonce’s “Why Don’t You Love Me?” Video
Literally within minutes of watching Beyonce’s latest video, “Why Don’t You Love Me,” I was getting tweets to find out her nail polish color. Turquoise is huge this season so it’s no wonder that a trendsetter like Beyonce would be wearing the color on screen.
Beyoncé is always on her nail game thanks to her east & west coast nail team, Celebrity Manicurists Tom Bachik and Lisa Logan. After all she was one of the first celebs to wear Minx. The video, with its grainy old school vibe and Beyonce’s campy performance as a 60′s housewife, is the perfect platform for a soft sea foam nail. For this shoot Tom Bachik was on hand to tend to her tips. Can you guess what color she’s wearing?? See if you’re right after the jump! |
Essie Summer 2010 Preview
Ever since I first laid my eyes on a pic of Dominica Green on the MUA Nail Board many years ago, I’ve been dying for Essie to bring us another fabulous green and I know I’m not alone. Well our wishes have been heard. The Essie Summer 2010 Collection includes what looks to be a stunning vivid green.
Summer is special. Aside from the wonderful outdoor activities that we wait for all year, we also revel in the opportunity to now wear lighter, brighter and more playful clothing. Finally, we can shed the wool and mohair for cotton and linen. The keyword for summer is: fun! So shed those boring, drab clothes and at last, indulge in seriously sensational color! Don’t be shy — make it the time to play with bold, playful color combinations. Check out full size bottle images and color descriptions after the jump! |
