1970's Christian Dior Nail Color Ad

Color For Your Nails

There seems to be a trend happening today that is stirring up healthy conversation. Nail polish.

As you walk thru the cosmetic area of any luxury store, each brand has joined forces in offering nail polish within their product offerings. This is nothing new to the cosmetic world, the add shown above is a Christian Dior ad from the 1970”s. As you can see the use of color was a trend of self expression.

J Crew Nail Polish ad

The trend continues today, however the conversation of men wearing nail polish is a conversation now talked about in confidence. Recently in the news a controversial ad from JCrew has brought additional interest in this non issue. The sad part of this controversy is the blindness to the reality of the captured moment, a mother enjoying a special moment with her son.

John Stewart had made a good comment about it on his show recently, “Its Pink nail polish not a “I love cock” tattoo.”Again we are talking about a snapshot of a mother and son playing: the quintessential American story, not some insidious revolting image” said John Stewart. His statement so bold and so true has made headlines all over the news.



Justin Bieber Nails



Biebers Nail Polish

Talking about all over the news…Have you heard that Justin Bieber has a collection of nail polishes. It is said that the singer has partnered with Nicole by OPI to design a collection of nail polishes inspired by all his hit songs. The picture shows the variety of color offerings, masculine and feminine for both men and women.

"The Iceman" Chuck Lidell

And if that ain't tough enough…On John Stewarts show the other night during the same conversation about the JCrew ad, he reminded us all that Chuck Liddell, The Ultimate Fighter, is a retired American mixed martial artist and former Ultimate Fighting Light Heavyweight champion, also known as "The Iceman" and his masculine stature, is also known for wearing nail polish. I dare you to confront that…

Putting all the controversy aside, nail polish, is a trend both of the past and current. This spring the color options are out there. Match it up, be expressive, your nails deserve the attention.

Let it Shine !
