THE NAIL REPORT: 3 TRENDS WORTH TRYING

I've fallen in love with the creative nail trends of the last two years, watching them become more and more bold and somewhat outlandish. But the thing about them that I love the most is how personalized they've become. You can tell exactly who a girl is through her manicure. Timid, bold, a sports fan, a total queen, a no nonsense type. The list goes on. 

Find your own style with this helpful cheat sheet of manicure shapes via Nails Magazine.

You can find a detailed list on how to achieve this shape and others HERE.

We've spent so much of time past on drab shades of candy apple red, but no longer! Bring on the glitter, the gold, holographic, neon and reverse french manies!

What could be more stylish than well filed nails? Holographic well filed nails. I dreamt about such a magic as a little girl and I'm so pleased I've lived to see such a thing. In fact, the more holographic things I see the happier I become.

There's some serious archaic power in flaunting long, pointed paws. Lana knows this, Adele knows this. Celebs are going the witchy route in full force this season. I can't imagine what we'll see when fall comes around.

FOURTH OF JULY CHIC: LANA DEL REY // GET THE LOOK

Every year people pack together in celebration of one of our finest American holidays. 

We binge on beer, fireworks, and family desserts - then seek out any large body of water worth floating in (ex. pools, lakes, beaches, large baby pools or old bathtubs) so we can soak lethargically to our heart's content - or at least until we've become so wrinkled we have to get out for fear of looking like an awkward flesh toned prune. 

Now, while fireworks, beer and pools hold a special place in my patriotic heart, only one thing on my Americanized list is missing. 

Music! Good music. 

And really, what could be more American than good music? 

Take for instance, songbird and style queen Lana Del Rey. You can re-create Lana's fierce patriotic garb by checking out the suggestions below. You can also find Lana's new video NATIONAL ANTHEM here.

SPRING TREND: FLORAL HEADBANDS

FLORAL HEADBANDS

Tomorrow is the Spring Equinox and there really is no better way to celebrate than by wearing flowers in your hair.  I've seen them on the runway, magazine spreads, fashion blogs and of course we can't forget about the beautiful floral wreathes constantly gracing the head of songstress Lana Del Rey.  I can't wait to get my hands on some sultry silken blooms, a hot glue gun and a headband.
