Nail art: Friend or foe?

Last weekend, we officially retired our trusty Blue Satin Chanel nail polish. The two of us -- nail polish and person -- went to Jamaba Juice and watched The Hills together. And we just wanted to end things on a good note. You know, before it started getting ugly.

So, now we're on the hunt for that perfect vibrant hue for spring and it's been a little more difficult than we ever expected.

We loved the funky lime green nails Rihanna wore to the Nickeloden Kids' Choice Awards, but we'd have the polish remover out by the time we left our manicurists; Clear nails are just plain boring, and when did yellow get en vogue?

Yes, we have a problem -- even more so now that we've seen Chicago rapper Kid Sister's video for her addictive single Pro Nails featuring Kanye West.

We never considered nail art
. Maybe a black and white checkered manicure? Or a ombré pedi a la Prada?

While we get our act together, check out this video and accompanying gallery -- which features over-the-top nail designs by the fantastic Megumi Furukawa of 1st Choice Nails. That's what we like to call dedication, people.

Enjoy!

The Chinese also made extensive use of nail painting, even using gold and silver to decorate their nails. Over the years, nail polish has included some pretty bizarre ingredients, including formaldehyde, beeswax, and gelatin. Painting pictures and designs on fingernails was a familiar practice to the Incas, many of whom had eagle designs.
  • Does Soy Nail Polish Remover Really Work? Does Soy Nail Polish Remover Really Work? Play There are many advantages to trying out a soy-based nail polish remover, including the fact that it's eco-friendly and won't dry out the nails. Also, since it's acetone- and chemical-free, you won't have to inhale stinky fumes when using it. But the real question is, does it work as well as regular formulas?

I'm wearing a lime green right now, and loving it! It's a Maybelline quick dry I picked up at Walgreen's. Totally fun. Next I want to do purple tips with the green.
