PFW Backstage Beauty Alert: Minx Madness
Minx has been grabbing headlines left and right in recent weeks. In addition to securing a U.S. patent on its unique method for applying non-liquid graphic films to nails (imitators, beware) and introducing a new collaboration series with super-manicurists like Lisa Logan (Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, and Queen Latifah) and Marian Newman (Givenchy, Vivienne Westwood, [...]
Britney’s Subversive Endorsement Deal; Nicki’s Pastel Makeover; and More…
If you noticed a few heavy-handed product placements in Britney Spears’ “Hold It Against Me” video, that was intentional.

The McQueen Mani We Want But Can’t Have
The hair and makeup were only part of the fairly sizable beauty story backstage at Alexander McQueen’s show yesterday.

Meeting Beyoncé With Our Best Foot Forward
With sandal-wearing season officially under way, we’ve become much more diligent about our pedicures of late. Full disclosure: We actually went completely bare for the entire winter, opting for natural buffing jobs over bright toes. But last week, pre-Coachella, we chose a neon melon shade from OPI’s Hong Kong collection called A Good Man-darin Is [...]
At Cushnie et Ochs, Minx Gets Some Competition
To properly accessorize the structured look at their Thursday show, design duo Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs called for reinforcements from Dashing Diva. And the popular nail brand showed up in a big way. Taking a page out of Minx’s increasingly popular book of high-shine metallic overlays, DD brought a chrome press-on polish all their [...]

Well, they’ve been busy creating one-of-a-kind looks for their impressive list of celebrity clients (the 3-D holograms that J. Lo was wearing on her fingertips as the ball [...]
Rihanna Amuses Herself
We’re not exactly sure where to begin here—with Rihanna’s adorable, front-tie headscarf or her super sick zebra-print nails (are they Minx? Hand designs? Airbrush? So many questions!). Suffice it to say, she heeded Six Flags’ “It’s Playtime” motto on a visit to the Valencia, California, park yesterday. How do you feel about her latest beauty [...]
