First Look: Dita Von Teese’s Glue-On Nails for Kiss!
Jul 21, 2011 @ 3:05 pmLong before Behnaz Sarafpour and Jason Wu brought the reverse French mani roaring back into fashion, Dita Von Teese had perfected the look. “In the 30s, they created this style so red polish wouldn’t chip off at the tips,” said the milky-faced Burlesque star, who is launching a glue-on version of her iconic red and white mani with Kiss this fall (see a preview at right). So what does Dita think of all the attention moon manis are getting these days? “I don’t follow trends,” she told us at a Cointreau event yesterday, coquettishly sipping a “Marga-Dita” cocktail. “Since I was 20 years old, bitches been stealin’ my look.”

Love the look but the comment leaves me puzzled. (“In the 30s, they created this style so red polish wouldn’t chip off at the tips.”) If the idea were to protect the tips, they would have left the tips, not the base bare. I heard it was because of the (not-correct) belief that a portion of the nail should be kept bare to let the nail breathe. In any case, the half moon is beatutiful. For the girl who is both good and bad.
