Charlotte Ronson has long been known for a sort of effortless, laid-back kind of cool, and the same applies to her girly meets downtown clothing lines. Now all of that has been translated to beauty, as the designer is set to launch her first hair and makeup collection exclusively with Sephora this September. The small, edited line -- inspired by family and friends -- includes six items: A beachy salt spray named 'Ann' (after Ronson's gorgeously wavy-haired mother) and a sheer, nude lip gloss called 'Samantha' (for her DJ sister). Then there's 'Nicole,' a shimmery, earth tone-hued eyeshadow palette (dedicated to close friend Nicole Richie) and 'Rashida' (as in Jones), a subtle finishing powder aimed to recreate her other pal's no-makeup makeup look. The collection also includes a liquid bronzer and blush trio.

While the line wont be able available until September 15th, you can preview everything on sephora.com right now.

Warning: Not only is this newspaper-inspired nail art super cool, but it can potentially lead to getting tipsy.

Kelsey of the Tumblr Quiet Time accepted the challenge to up her manicure skills with a written word design that has been popping up on many of our favorite beauty sites like Refinery29 and Dolce Vanity. And we love the creative idea of using the local paper than reading the most recent piece of breaking news.

The blogger perfected this print in just a few steps. First, she applied a neutral nail color like OPI Samoan Sand and allowed to dry. Then she dipped each fingernail into alcohol -- we'd recommend using vodka for better results. Press a large strip of newspaper onto the top of each soaked nail. Remove slowly and finish with a glossy top coat to seal.
