Cool Online Find: NCLA Nail Wraps and Nail Lacquers

Looking for ways to make your nails pop this Summer? Well Los Angeles-based nail design company NCLA has you covered with fun nail wraps and nail lacquers, all retailing for $16 each:
NCLA x Melody Ehsani Money Green
Hello, I Love You
Started in 2011, the brand began as a line of nail wraps inspired by high-fashion and street style. With time, NCLA expanded its line to include a collection of long-lasting and cruelty-free nail lacquers which have no harmful carcinogens such as formaldehyde or camphor. They have even collaborated with Fashion Bomb favorite Melody Ehsani on a nail wrap collection that incorporates her edge and love for brights.
NCLA x Melody Ehsani I See You
Venice Beach Vixen
NCLA x Melody Ehsani I Don’t Play Nice
My two favorite styles are the Pick Me Up At Melrose Place Nail Lacquer and the NCLA x Melody Ehsani I Get Around Nail Wraps. The former is a rich bright purple that will give your nails that pop for the season and the latter, a set of wraps boasting the flags of a number of countries including the USA, England, Trinidad and more.

BITCHIE NAILS: STILETTOS, DAGGERS, SPIKES OH MY!


Dagger Nails. Spiked Nails. Stiletto Nails. Almond Nails…whatever you want to call them. The name says it all and when you see someone rockin them you will definitely take notice and know what they are. Usually in medium to long lengths the nails are shaped to an extreme point and depending on how bitchie you want them you can play with the sharpness and hues.
The edgy pointy nail trend has been spotted on some of your favorite celebs over the past year
 Here are some pictures you can fall in love with:
























 


Fashion is not just limited to dresses, coats and fab heels. Any fashionable person could tell you that the accessories you wear can make or break an outfit and what better accessory to jazz up than your own fingernails! The latest addition to the nail craze has to be the uber fierce and edgy Stiletto Nail. The long, tapered and sharpened to a triangular tip stiletto nail shape gives your hands a dramatic and semi dangerous edge. Rocking divas like Rihanna, Fergie, Adele, Lady Gaga and Beyonce have all been spotted rocking stiletto nails and they definitely make the perfect accessory to that killer outfit. While we wouldn’t recommend them for the faint of heart or the office, stiletto nails are definitely the perfect accessory for a night on the town, but these pointy talons aren’t cheap. Like its namesake, a good pair of stiletto nails can cost you around $150 in some salons. It is said that women avoid this form because they fear the lack of convenience, but the truth is that Stiletto nails are as comfortable as other forms of nails (square, oval, bridge, edge, etc.), some people considering them as the most comfortable. So the question is….

WILL YOU ROCK THEM?

Tired Of Wearing Clothes?

Are you tired of wearing clothes? That is the latest question the older generation now ask the new generation. Even the beauty queens of 20years ago still talk about the size of their undies-big enough to sew a gown of the type this new generation wear today. Do you think this fashion revolution is doing more good than harm to this new generation?

Barack Obama Is Selling Nail Polish

Yes, you read that correctly. In support of Barack Obama‘s re-election, his campaign is now selling nail polishes which are pretty pricey given the size.
They come in a set of 3 colors and each one is not even half the size of Essie polishes and will run your pockets about $40. If it came with a dinner with Michelle Obama, I’d totally buy it lol.The 3-lacquer set was designed by Le Métier de Beauté‘s Richard Blanch, and it comes in a makeup bag emblazoned with the Obama campaign logo. Here are our qualms:
1. The bottles are very small! At 0.135 oz, each bottle is about a third of the size of a bottle of Chanel polish (0.4 oz) and nearly a fourth of the size of OPI and Essie (0.5 oz).
2. The set is expensive! The bag and three bottles will set you back $40. For reference, one (much larger) bottle of (super fancy) Chanel polish costs $26, while OPI and Essie generally go for $8.
3. The color names are not great! Okay, this is less of a legitimate criticism, but still. Red-y To Win (“a delightfully deep red”) is sort of clever, but Bo Blue (“a shimmering sapphire blue”)? Bo-ring. (Still love you though, Bo.) We’re most disappointed with Victory White (“a soft, clean white”) because a) we don’t really get the reference and b) some sort of White House pun should have been made instead.
