Kylie Minogue's Painting Medium of Choice Is Nail Polish
Kylie Minogue is unquestionably a pop music icon, but now she's trying her hand at being a visual artist, too — and nail polish is her paint of choice. It's an interesting choice, and totally in keeping with Kylie's girly persona.

How Do You Sample Nail Polish?
Yesterday I took a little jaunt down to Sephora to check out some new nail polish shades.

Bella Brand: Auto Paint Cosmetics, Inc.
Steve McQueen's observation that "everything looks prettier when it goes fast" is the motto of a new line of pretty polishes.
