Minx Nails, You Saw Them Here First!

The Frisky on Jun 19, 2009 7:22 AM PDT

Everyone has been talking about Minx Nails lately. The nail art was featured in a recent issue of Vogue and on "Today" this morning, but I have to say these "news" outlets are a little behind. The Frisky gave you the dish on Minx back in October, and even interviewed manicurist, Lisa Logan, who was responsible for Beyonce and Solange€™s Obama nails that were popular during the presidential campaign. Last week, I had the pleasure of getting my nails dipped in gold. OK, not really, but I got close. I had Minx Nails applied in gold on eight fingers and gold cheetah on two fingers. It was kind of weird to have a "dry manicure." I had trouble remembering that my nails weren't wet, even though I just had them done. I kept the Minx Nails on for a few days and found myself admiring them quite often. However, I don't think they'll replace my normal manicure-- they're more for special occasions. The pedicures, however, I could get behind. A Minx pedicure supposedly lasts three times as long as the manicure.

10 Hot Shades for Hot Summer Days

Amelia Parry on May 14, 2008 8:16 AM PDT

I just bought some awesome sunglasses that I did not include in this slideshow. I didn€™t want the entire universe running out and buying them. Forgive me. But I did include 10 other favorites! I'm especially partial to big shades that make you look like an alien and edgy shades that set you apart from the crowd. And it should go without saying that aqua Ray-Ban Wayfarers are friggin€™ hot sauce. And because so many of us have the ability to lose our shades the minute a summer margarita hits our lips, there€™s some affordable options in here as well. So get to clicking people!

Catherine on Jan 30, 2008 2:46 PM PST

The bedroom is where the magic happens, so if yours has gone into floral overdrive -- say, daisies on your sheets and a lace-edged comforter €“ you might not be getting lucky. But with a decent-looking duvet cover and a few cute pillows, you and your bedroom will be back in business. Or at least you won't be able to use it as an excuse. Either way, you're on the right track! Check out my slideshow of love-inducing linens and things.
