15 Mistakes You Didn’t Know You’re Making With Nail Polish stay aware of this earth-shatteringly vital issue.
I don’t know about you, but I have never been much of a nail polish girl, personally. Something about the way I move my hands, open doors, and reach into bags–abruptly, jerkily, and wholly devoid of any sense of grace whatsoever–makes it so any polish I have on my hands, however hopefully it was applied, gets chipped off within a few hours. Because of this, I usually go without–bare nails are boring, yes, but it’s definitely better than having a chipped-up checkerboard of Essie Petal Pusher that I feel obligated to hide under my sleeves until I finally take it off. Today, though, I found out about a new nail trend that might be able to withstand even my most inept, bumbling of hand gestures–it’s called furry nails.
No, I’m not buying “hot slut” or “trophy wife” nail polish, thanks.

Undercover Colors: Four students at North Carolina State University have started developing a date rape detection nail polish. They explained, "With our nail polish, any woman will be empowered to discreetly ensure her safety by simply stirring her drink with her finger. If her nail polish changes color, she’ll know that something is wrong." I personally don't want to have to stick my finger in my drink to find out if some jerk dropped a date rape drug in it.
