Celine Spring 2012-Inspired Nails

What was supposed to be straightforward Celine-inspired nails turned into a sort of goth Valentine's Day look (not exactly the words I would use to describe Phoebe Philo or her fans). To get the look I began with a base of OPI Alpine Snow and used my red nail art pen to outline and fill in red geometric details. The combination of elements from the three looks make this set a little more current.

Nails Inc. Magnetic Nail Polish

I can't resist new nail polish treatments. First came matte shades, then crackle finishes, now magnetic polishes are ready to make a splash. This Nails Inc. Magnetic Polish is sold exclusively at Sephora and is a great way to experiment with nail art. The actual application is super simple. I did two coats of the polish and held the magnet end of the bottle cap over the second coat for a few seconds while still wet. The results were surprisingly awesome.

I actually bought an Estee Lauder magnetic polish when I was in college, but they seem to have avoided the mainstream for several years. The psychic in me would like to say that textured polishes will be next, but Jason Wu actually designed a Tweed-effect polish for CND last year that went largely unnoticed.
