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.

Fall Shopping Vol. 2

Although it could probably be said of every season, I think there is a strong case for the return of more feminine shapes this fall. Me and my curves couldn't be happier. From the moment I spotted this Donna Karan leather jacket, I knew it was the perfect way to cover up come fall. The nipped waist and patch pockets give the delightfully '80s utilitarian look some sex appeal. I imagine wearing it to work as a ladylike twist on Sean Young in "Blade Runner," trade robot love for Twitter addiction.
