Manicure trends come and go, but among all the intricate nail art and speckled lacquers, Chanel is singing praises for the staple hues that never go out of style—to the tune of New Order’s “Bizarre Love Triangle,” at that. This week, the label posted a video showcasing the Couleurs Culte de Chanel, the brand’s five nail polishes that have quickly become classics. The shades look just as chic animated and dancing to the New Order tune as they do on our digits. Between the true red (Pirate), trendy greige (Particuliere), and inky burgundy (Rouge Noir), there’s a lacquer to suit every taste. Check out the colors in the clip above, then shop your favorite shade ($27 each) at chanel.com.

Your manicure is about to get a lot cuter! To follow up on the success of last year’s classic Minnie Mouse lacquers, OPI is launching a second range of colors inspired by Disney’s most fashionable mascot. The Couture de Minnie collection is giving Minnie Mouse a high-fashion upgrade by including runway-ready hues and edgy textures. “This year, OPI is exploring a different side of Minnie Mouse,” said the brand’s Executive VP and Artistic Director Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. “The collection draws inspiration from Minnie’s iconic style and incorporates trends most recently seen on the runways.” We especially love the red and white glitter lacquer, which allows you to repurpose the icon’s polka-dotted skirt as nail art! The Couture de Minnie collection hits stores nationwide in June, priced at $9 per bottle, and a set of four mini-polishes is available now for $13 at ulta.com. Click through our gallery to preview the whole range!

Kim Kardashian’s Latest Strange Beauty Treatment: The Fish Pedicure

May 6, 2013 @ 12:10 pm

Kim Kardashian isn’t afraid to try new beauty treatments—vampire facial, anyone?—and now the reality star tried another at a spa in Santorini, Greece: The fish pedicure. The treatment involves you dipping your feet into warm water and allowing small Doctor Fish to remove and clean dead skin from your soles. The procedure has been controversial for years and certainly isn’t for the squeamish. But, guess who’s squeamish?! Check out Kim’s hilarious reaction to the pescetarian pedi in the clip above, plus a much calmer reaction from sister Kourtney. Then, tell us in the comments: Would you ever try a fish pedicure?

Talk about nailing it! Kate Hudson, Taraji P. Henson, and Ke$ha added creative elements to their manicures recently, with Hudson sporting a pink nail with a silver tip, and Henson lacquering up in a chic black and white print. However, Ke$ha’s manicure proved to be the most eye-catching design we’ve seen yet. The singer topped off her optical pattern by adding strips of false lashes to her ring finger.

Ever since Jennifer Hudson lacquered up in Chrome Girl’s greige hue in “Hard to Get” for the 2013 Oscars, business has been good for the up-and-coming nail line—so good that Bones star David Boreanaz and his wife Jaime had to launch the brand early. “After Jennifer Hudson wore our polish to the Oscars, that’s when we thought ‘Okay, we are doing this now,’” Jaime told us at the launch party for the lacquers over the weekend, held at the private home of CAA agent Tracy Brennan. “We did a soft launch party at Planet Beauty in Los Angeles, and it was so successful, they decided to put us in all their stores.” The line, which was a collaboration between Boreneaz and her longtime friend Melissa Ravo, features a 4-free formula that leaves harmful chemicals like formaldehyde and DBP out of the mix. Aside from Hudson, The Carrie Diaries‘s star AnnaSophia Robb is already a fan. “They have some great colors!” she said. “I love Pucker Up and No Tan Lines.” Shop the full line of 18 shades—including Hudson and Robb’s favorites—for $10 a bottle at chromegirl.com.
