Nail Polish Designs

Nail Polish DesignsI think that a woman’s choice of nail polish really says something about who she is and how she sees herself or how she wants to be seen. There is a new collection of polishes for summertime 2010 coming out, and it will be very interesting to see the range of colors, as well as what I will choose to paint myself with. The more subdued colours will generally be unbroken for when you’re feeling reserved, professional, and just want to be pampered. One polish called overmodest vixen, makes me feel reserved, yet exciting astatine the same time, like i have a secret. On the outside this nail polish is rather cool, but it has a hint… or something that just catches your eye and makes you think… hmmm.

The names of the polish have a large effect as well. “Pretty Edgy” is a very obtrusive green color that is a part of the Essie Summer Nails Collection for 2010 and it is juxtaposed to all of the other colours in the bunch, highlighting itself and setting itself apart. I find myself drawn to this color and can see myself wearing it out to a party where i will be noticed with my edgy outfit and my exciting yet different shade of polish.

Nail Art Designs PicturesThe last vintage history post was about the ‘King of Fashion’, Paul Poiret. For this weeks’s post, Im going to jump ahead a few years, to a name famous for his work in the 1960′s. He was Oleg Cassini and he is most well known for being the personal courtier to Jacqueline Kennedy during her time as the first lady.

Born in Paris in 1913, his first few years were spent in Russia. His father was a Russian diplomatist and his mother an Italian countess. The family lost their condition and fortune due to the Russian revolution in 1917 and moved to Florence. Oleg’s mother, Countess Cassini, ( Yes, Countess Cassini) worked in fashion mainly design hats and he often traveled with her to Paris, to study the new french fashions. It was during these trips to Paris that Oleg apprenticed to designer Jean Patou, a well known French fashion designer of the times.
