There is only one person on this earth I love more than Britney Spears, and that is the ever fabulous Miss Mariah Carey. I’ve been just dying for her new song to drop, and today I got an earful of what is sure to be one of her biggest hits to date.

The beat is sick, the lyrics are clever, and let’s just say I don’t think Eminem will be too excited when he hears what my girl has to say about him. Check the song out here, and behold the perfection that is this photo.



PS- Thanks to Sabrina for reminding me this came out today on her lovely site, TheCandyReport. Check it out and support one of my old SF State homegirls!

I’m totally calling it yo!

I stumbled upon what I think is going to be the next big thing in nails while reading the December issue of Redbook magazine a few weeks ago. I’m more of a Cosmo kinda girl so I generally don’t read Redbook, but I picked up the latest issue because my beloved Mariah Carey (cue heavenly bells please…thank you) graces the cover.



The first thing I noticed, other than how insanely young she looks for 39, was the amazing color she has on her nails. It’s this incredibly shiny, almost chrome like silver that looks like mirrors adorning her fingertips. And since I am a fan of all things shiny, I just had to find out how to get me some of that.

So I made it my mission to find out the name of this magical color, which as it turns out was much harder than I thought. I searched high and low at drug stores, department stores, even Sephora (aka The Holy Land) with no luck. I knew Sally Hanson made a Chrome nail polish several years back, but it has since been discontinued, so other than eBay it’s next to impssible to find.

I had all but given up, until I spotted a gold version of the same polish on Beyonce and Googled her name along with the word “nails.” Then…JACKPOT! Up came the website for Minx Nail Coverings. Yes I said nail coverings. And yes, I think it sounds weird too.

What is this new fangled approach to nail care, you ask? It’s not a polish, but a sheath of sorts that is “installed” by a professional. Is anyone else thinking of Sears aluminum siding right now? Ya, me too.

According the website, Minxnails.com, the coverings go on quickly, require no drying time, and don’t come off until you take them off. It’s also supposed to be a greener alternative to regular nail polish because it doesn’t contain any of the fun ozone depleting chemicals.

Naturally, i’m dying to try this stuff – I mean just look at it! – so I found a list of salons that provide this service on the site. There are several here in the bay area, so you bet your sweet ass I’m going as soon as my bejeweled heels can get me there!

I’m aiming for an appointment sometime next week, so I’ll report back as soon as my nails are all Minx-ed out and gorgeous!
