Nail Trends: the black nail polish has been popular for quite some time now and in my opinion will remain a classic. This spring however expect lighter colors like white or a pale grey taupe like MAC Light Affair ($12) from its latest MAC Love Lace collection to be the it nail polish shade. I absolutely love this color: it’s not too white, not too grey, and not too sheer. A nice break from black, be sure to attract compliments. Marta declares: MAC Light Affair nail polish is the new black!

MAC Love Lace Nail Polish in Light Affair: Revolutionary new high-gloss formula. Provides a no-streak/no-chip finish. Contains conditioners and UV protection. Rich color in a high-lacquer full-cream finish.

He appears as 1960s supermodel China Machado in a photograph taken by legendary photographer Richard Avedon, who has always been an inspiration to François. “China is wearing bright red polish in her 1959 photo, so I wanted Marc to do the same—plus he’s always up for anything,” says François.

She was famously filmed for George Michael’s Freedom ’90 video, as well as for Madonna’s Erotica video, and has appeared on over 100 magazine covers. She is a supermodel in the truest sense. Naomi is the epitome of glamour in an Olivier Theyskens for Nina Ricci dress, and Taj Mahal Blush, a burnt orange with shimmer. “Naomi is one of the most iconic symbols of beauty today, and I wanted to use a makeup color that would show this by name and by hue.
