Moon Manicures & Daily Candy

I have recently felt quite bored with basic manicures, and though I haven't been daring enough to jump on the Minx nail trend and though I opted too soon for teflons; I received a very exciting email from Daily Candy giving me a great incentive to try something new. Check out the email below.

One coat just won’t do.

LACQUER
Moon Manicures
What: Two of our editors’ favorite new obsession, this crescent-shaped, dual-tone nail design was lifted straight from the runways (VPL, Ruffian).
Why: DC readers who mention code moon when booking get the lunar paint job (reg. $21) for the price of a regular manicure ($14).
When: Deal thru Dec. 2. Mon.-Fri., 11 a.m.-7 p.m.; Sat. & Sun., 10 a.m.-6 p.m.
Where: Eve Salon, 55 W. 8th St., b/t Sixth Ave. & MacDougal St. (212-807-8054). 

Clearly Im siked and cant wait until next week when I give it a try and post every step for you guys. in the mean time check out some variations of the hot trend dating back tot the 20's!

"The Best Head Comes From a Thug"-Khia

I was recently inspired by an Anna Dello Russo blog post about her collection of head-pieces and now heads;

"My last passion is HEAD-PIECES

to collect them and to preserve themis a problem because they going to dieif they are not worn.

Then I've started the collection of HEADSmatching with the WIGS to be ableto visualize better the look of the HATS"Anna

After reading this post I began to think and survey my room, and come to think of it I too was a head collector.  Here are a few flicks of some I hope to have in my possession by summer.
