We Live In A World Of Leopard Print Nail Polish

The state of New Jersey might have you believe that everything leopard print has already been invented, but you would be wrong. Uslu Airlines is not an airlines, but a cosmetics company and they have invented what appears, according to Refinery29, to be the first leopard print nail polish. The Internet has many a leopard print nail art tutorial, but this polish actually features leopard print-shaped pieces of glitter inside. The limited edition polish is only available at select retailers around the world, which is all the more reason for these spots to be covetable. [Refinery29]

Etsy Spotlight: Owl Scarves For Your Inner Nature-Loving Hippie Goddess


Sometimes you just need to dress for your inner earth mama, and artist and designer Roza Khamitova’s cheerful line of scarves owl-inspired scarves will help you do exactly that. Each piece in her collection spreads out to show a feathered design based on Khamitova’s nature-based drawings, paintings and prints. I’m not sure if I could pull off having an owl’s face draped over my shoulders, but life is all about trying new things, right? Some of the other scarves in the line are a bit more subtle and attuned to the not-so-bold among us (like myself), so there’s a little something for everyone. I’m in love with the all those gorgeous, colorful details! [$120, Shovava]
