CND launched Shellac last spring and it’s quickly become a huge hit among lacquer lovers for its fast drying, long-lasting (two weeks!), and chip- and smudge-free formula. And now, 12 new shades arrive—from a reflective deep purple to a eye-popping bright pink to a cool nude cocoa—to enhance your Shellac-ing options. It’s an in-salon only process, but it’s worth it if you’re looking for a polish job with staying power.
The 8 million viewers who tuned into season 3 of MTV’s Jersey Shore probably noticed that the cast’s increasing popularity made it difficult for them to shake stalkers — much less stumble around anonymously — in Seaside Heights, New Jersey. To combat this growing problem, MTV is sending the cast members to the one place where they probably have the least fans — Italy.
Inspired by a Japanese study that showed workers became more efficient around the smell of money, creator Patrick McCarthy decided to infuse that papery-fresh aroma into his new perfume, Her Money. Pink grapefruit, mandarin, freesia, passion fruit, Hawaiian wedding flower, and melon harmonize with the aroma of crisp bills, resulting in a balance that’s juicy and citrusy, but not too sweet.

The Jackson brothers—that’s Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Randy Jackson—will launch a new line of clothing honoring their time in band, The Jackson 5. Called J5 Collection, the line will include t-shirts and jackets, including the iconic leather jackets Michael Jackson wore in Thriller and Beat It. The family’s not known for squeezing every last marketing opportunity out of their own brand, and planning for the clothing collection seems to have begun just a week after Michael Jackson’s funeral in July 2009.
When we were kids, Disney movie Fantasia was on heavy rotation when it came to after-school entertainment. Even though we’ve grown up a little, we still totally dig the dreamy classical music and whimsical imagery. Our inner 8-year-olds were delighted to learn that nOir Jewelry and Walt Disney Signature are collaborating on a collection of cocktail rings inspired by the classic film.
Cashmeres, cottons, and leathers all have beautiful, makeup worthy textures—but not many beauty brands have chosen to use plaids as their inspiration. Daredevil brand MAC has stepped up to the plate, and just released a four-piece collection called A Tartan Tale.
