Nail Corner: Brighten up a cloudy winter day with this snow globe manicure
At some point this week it actually snowed in Toronto—huge fluffy flakes!—and the snow globe-like atmosphere instantly became Nail Corner inspiration. I’ve been dreaming of opaque white glitter for a few months now, but after going down a rabbit hole of searching for such a polish, it seems it’s a mix that’s nearly impossible to acquire. So nail art, paired with two of my all-time-favourite glitters, seemed like an appropriate substitute. (For now, that is!)

New nail polish alert! The beauty at Chanel haute couture is all about the blues
That blue makeup you invested in during the fall? It’s about to get a lot more mileage. From eyes to nails, everything was as blue as the sky at Chanel’s haute couture show today. (Not to mention the show itself: guests boarded “Chanel Air”—a set staged to look like they were flying in a custom luxury jet.)
While we wait for confirmation on the products used backstage, let’s discuss two things:

Bring on the skulls! Avril Lavigne to launch a collection of Sally Hansen nail stickers
You would think Avril Lavigne has her hands full with her music, her Abbey Dawn clothing line, and her boy toy, Brody Jenner, but the 27 year old just announced another project: a deal with beauty giant Sally Hansen to produce a limited edition Salon Effects Nail Strips collection this spring.

Nail Corner: Clouds? Quatrefoils? Check out this taupe and metallic manicure!
Yes, technically a quatrefoil is a four-lobed shape—picture the Gothic clovers seen in Van Cleef & Arpels jewellery—and there are only three scalloped lobes in this nail design. However, it still evokes the shapes and lines of a repeating quatrefoil pattern (like you would see in latticework or on wallpaper) and besides, artistic liberties are wonderful things! By painting the quatrefoil design on top of a metallic polish, it gives this manicure a great deal of depth, as well as a sparkly finish. And maybe it also looks like clouds?

Would you buy two nail polishes for $600? A rare set by Louis Vuitton is up for auction!
Fashionphile, an eBay vendor slash online consignment store, has just listed something that will have diehard nail polish fanatics salivating: a set of Louis Vuitton nail polishes. The colours are nothing remarkable—bright cherry red and pearly beige—but they’re significant because, well, Louis Vuitton doesn’t make nail polishes. Or at least not anymore. It’s unclear when […]

Nail Corner: A soothing ombré lavender manicure to start the New Year
It’s best to ease your way out of the holidays. After a week of eating nothing but comfort food, being hustled between endless family gatherings and feeling very squeezed in at Boxing Week sales, we could all use a mini-vacation before heading back to work. However, considering most of us are already back at our desks, it’s time to find relaxation in other ways, such as lavender. As a plant, lavender is known for its calming, restorative properties. So why not transfer a little bit of that relaxation onto your nails with a soothing lavender ombré manicure? -
Afternoon beauty fix: The easiest way to break your bad habit of picking off nail polish
Some girls have the ability to ignore the fact that their nail polish is chipped, but I do not! Once it starts to go, I pick at it until my mani is completely gone and there’s a huge mess at my desk. How can I break this terrible habit?
It’s tough to decide which habit is worse: walking around with a half-done manicure or picking it off until there’s nothing left. Both options are less-than-desirable, but you’re in luck—they’re also completely avoidable!
