Now I'm cursing the fact that I don't have a functioning scanner... I just saw an awesome set of nails in a magazine, of all places! Magazines tend to feature or display models wearing one of three styles: naked nails, horrible french manicures and vampy nails in varying shades (black, burgundy, blue, BLAH).
The GOOD mani: Page 99 of this year's Glutes special issue from Oxygen: Perdita Felicien's Canadian Flag manicure is amazing! I can really only see the thumbnail, but it's painted with a perfectly formed Canadian flag. I love it!
The BAD mani: This month's Oxygen cover model Lindsay Messina has some of the worst pink and whites I've ever seen. They're thick, cloudy, unbalanced and there's about three or more weeks of outgrowth on them. GROSS!
The GOOD mani, BAD picture: October Allure, page 277. Model with a gorgeous metallic gold (Pro Manicure Nail Polish in Goldy Lucks by L'Oreal Paris) set of natural nails filed into stilettos. Unfortunately, she's CHEWING ONE OF THEM OFF! My teeth and fingers hurt just looking at it. I actually had to tear the page out because it was bothering me.
Have you seen an interesting mani in a magazine lately?

Oh my g :O In Australia I saw an advertisement for a type of coffee I think, she had red nail polish on but they were so bad, like someone or herself just done her nails very badly and they didnt clean it up! It was all over her cuticles >:O Why would you do that for an advertisement?!
ReplyDeleteGreat! Did you see the October issue of In Style page 270? It's a story on Vanessa Hudgens and OPI's You Don't Know Jaques...just an FYI
ReplyDeletei think you can take your camera, and try to photograph that magazine part, without flash, but in a well lit area, and hopefully that shows up... :-)
ReplyDelete*sigh* It's good to know I'm not the only one that rips out pages from magazines out of disgust! ^_^
ReplyDeleteNail Juice, eeeeew!!! I know we have a commercial here for some sort of potato chips, the girl is getting a pretty red mani but then eats the chips it's sooooooo gross!
ReplyDeleteCasey, no, I haven't seen that, I'll check it out! :)
Fudge, I think I'll try that. I tried it once with a Zoya catalogue but it turned out really weird... lol Oh well, worth another try! :D
Fauxfun, yay! Usually my magazines don't last long enough to have pages torn out (too much bathtub reading and/or dropping oops!), but I have been known to tear out disgusting pages before hehehe :D
some body please help.. :( i would like to place an order with TD soon and would like to purchase the "live in color" 3 pack...but only if the proceeds are going to the BCA and i cannot find anything about it :(

I have noticed what you say, the three nail polishes is mags, and i agree!!! they need to spice it up!!! Ever since i fell in love with nail polish, i always look at peoples nails, and i'll be on the lookout for some cool nails!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Doutzen Kroes mani is gorgeous except she is biting one off!! yikes!
ReplyDeleteDanielle, I can't find any information *anywhere* on how much money goes to BCA for that 3-pack :( Perhaps if you email China Glaze they would be willing to tell us? I would just donate money to a good BCA program :)
ReplyDeleteRedrunner, awesome! It's interesting to see what 'regular' people wear on their nails :D
Andie, that picture makes me sooooo uncomfortable but it is beautiful :D
