She recently made an inspirational photo grid of designer Rebecca Minkof's images and then created a design inspired by those fashions. She wore the set to ABS Chicago in March. This goes to show that if you ever see nail art inspiration on the web, just snap a picture to save for later, and it might come in handy. } STYLE Essie Goes Couture Essie's newest ofering, GelCouture Nail Polish, comes in 42 new colors. This longer-lasting polish is inspired by fashion masterpieces and the world of quality craftsmanship, hence the cool bottle.

"Techs are going to love the twisted shape of the Essie GelCouture bottle, which is inspired by a woman's twirling dress," says Gino Trunzo, director of education at Essie. "When I hold it, the innovative design contours itself to my fngers; it's pretty amazing." The bottles ft seamlessly into the hand whether you are right- or left-handed.
