Beauty Alert: White Hot Nails

Aug 20, 2009 @ 3:00 pm

It seems Blake Lively took a cue from the girls at the Chanel Haute Couture summer show by choosing a white nail polish for her manicure. If you’re doubtful about trying this seemingly stark trend, maybe a quote from Coco Chanel herself will persuade you? “With white, one can never put a foot wrong,” said the style icon. Looks like you may need to try it on your toes too! Chanel’s Blanc Petale is a limited edition nail color so hurry and snatch yours up today.

The September issue of InStyle features the hot young things of the new Melrose Place dishing on the show’s sure-to-be juicy drama. The photoshoot was inspired by ’90s magazine tears, including the iconic 1994 Rolling Stone cover featuring Laura Leighton, Josie Bissett and Heather Locklear—the original cat-fighting tenants of the now-infamous apartment complex. Check out the behind-the-scenes video to get the new cast’s take on ’90s fashion trends that should never return (hint: crimped hair!) and catch the first episode of the show on September 8th on the CW.
