DALLAS, Nov 28, 2011/ — From the runway to the store windows, nail care is not just about a manicure anymore.
With Minx nails, a solid nail coating that never chip, never smudge and require no drying appearing on the catwalks in New York, London, Milan, Paris and Moscow, Nail Tips by Kiss is stealing the show at Barneys New York as part of Gaga’s Workshop, one-of-a-kind products created especially for the Workshop.
A proven favorite among celebrities that include Beyoncé, Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera, Minx nails graced the cover of Harper’s Bazaar Korea’s December 2011 issue via Olympic Champion Figure Skater Yuna Kim.
Dressed in Louis Vuitton clothing and accessories, Yuna Kim finished off her look by choosing Minx for her nails for the magazine shoot conducted in early November in Seoul.
While Minx is expanding its hold in Asia, Gaga’s Workshop is introducing the Limited Edition Nail Tips at Barneys New York.
Designed by Naomi Yasuda, a personal nail artist to Lady Gaga and produced by Kiss, the Limited Edition Nail Tips by Kiss has been inspired by the distinct style of Gaga.
Yet, even with these brand new nail treatments, the classic nail polish still rules! Urban Decay, Hard Candy and OPI among others offer a wide variety of nail care collection to the delight of fashionistas. Imagine a color and chances are, it is already available at your fingertips, no pun intended.
Manicure and pedicure have also gone beyond the traditional nail salon. Julep, a boutique nail salon in the Seattle, Washington area which also has an eponymous nail polish brand has started Julep Maven, a members-only nail polish subscription service!
Unique in the sense that it only offers nail products, Julep Maven is catching on like wildfire as the word of mouth julep maven review is passed from girlfriend to girlfriend.
From the catwalk to the concert, from the nail salon to your bedroom, nail care continues its long history that began in ancient Egypt where records show that Cleopatra favored crimson nail color.
