Show Your Gay Pride on Your Nails



New York celebrated a milestone this past weekend. Gay marriage was just legalized in the state, and this past Sunday was the first day couples could take advantage of it. (Check out the great coverage in the NY Times Styles section. You will cry.)

The wedding industry has jumped on the opportunity to market things to gay couples, and now the beauty industry is, too. We love this new collection of nail polish by Color Club, which features a rainbow of shades with cheeky names: P is for Pride; Polish for All; Dress for the Parade; Not Just for Kelly, Green; Boys Wear Blue; Express Yourself. We wish they had gone even further with the names, like “Drag Me to Stonewall” or “Queen of Christopher Street.” (We have fantasies of being a nail polish namer. Sorry.)

The collection is formaldehyde, paraben, DBP, and toluene-free, and a portion of the proceeds will go to an NYC-based AIDS charity. You can pick up the range at shopcolorclub.com for $48. And here’s some inspiration for a rainbow manicure, courtesy of Emily’s Nail Files:
