Nail art–in its over-the-top 3D incarnation, at least–is waning in popularity a bit, and polishes aimed at giving you a nail art-y feel without all the work have been taking its place.
We tried tons of the so-called textured polishes–here’s what we think.
OPI, the mega popular salon nail polish staple, churns out eight nail polish collections a year. And the more quirky and punny the name, the better. (Its best-seller, for the record, is the cult favorite red “I’m Not Really A Waitress.”)
At an event yesterday to promote the launch of the nail polish powerhouse’s newest Liquid Sand line, Bond Girls (a follow-up to its James Bond collection, out April 1), we checked in with OPI’s CEO Suzi Weiss-Fischmann.
We grilled the refreshingly open-book Weiss-Fischmann on upcoming lines (Game of Thrones, please?), the death of nail art, and how on earth she comes up with those nail polish names.
It’s now officially March, which means that spring is finally close. And much like the leaves and flower buds, new spring nail polishes are popping up everywhere.
Check out the whopping 23 collections we dug up.
We’ve seen tasteful nude nails backstage for fall 2013, and some original nail art–both of which we expected. More unexpected? Decidedly dull nails. And by dull we don’t mean boring–we mean shine-free. (Well, except for Marc Jacobs’ shiny new line.) Yep, matte nails are offically a trend.
Her four inch Louboutins prevented her from doing any tumbling passes down the runway, but Gabby Douglas still drew the biggest cheers at last night’s Heart Truth Red Dress runway show.
I spied Douglas’s megawatt smile in the backstage pre-show chaos and grabbed a few minutes with her while she getting her nails painted. Punctuating her speech with “Oh my gosh”-es and excited giggles, she told me her thoughts on nail art, Ben Affleck, and dismissing that whole Olympics hair controversy once and for all.
Find out how much coin women are spending on nail polish, plus what new nail products to expect in stores this spring.

The big story at the Emmys this year wasn’t the winners (who did win? I can’t even remember) It was the new technology that E! unveiled on the red carpet: The mani cam.
