The Minx manicure is what started my whole diy nail insanity! You know Minx, worn by avid fans such as Katy Perry, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Eve, Megan Fox, Mariah Carrey, Blake Lively, Fergie, etc…. A few weeks ago, I went to Extremedy’s nail salon, in West Hollywood, for a professional Minx mani. While I was happy with the results, I knew I could do the same thing myself – Cut to a few days later when I randomly go into Sephora and see that they teamed up with Minx and Opi to make the same sorta thing.

Francois Nars, genius and makeup lord, cut the ribbon today for his first ever, 525 square foot flagship boutique, in Manhattan’s, West Village. But where was Marcel and Daphne Guinness ?! (Marcel is Mr. Nars most amazing french bulldog, that has come to represent Nars.)
**Umm on a side note, I’d just like to say that I own a ghastly amount of Nars makeup, and have been doing so since 10th grade ish (9 years?). My favorite Nars blush and lips gloss dons the name ‘Orgasm” – If you are a cool girl, you know Orgasm. Anyhoo, back to the point of this blurp, I about DIED when Drake dropped Orgasm Blush in the song “Fancy, Huh”.
“I love Bleecker Street, it’s a cool fun area with great shopping, the boutique is very intimate and chic, and the exterior is very ‘old’ West Village, which is nice. The Bleecker Street storefronts are extremely charming.” – Francois Nars
This chic-ly modern boutique boasts a design conceived by Founder and Creative Director François Nars and long-time artistic collaborator and friend Fabien Baron, of Baron & Baron. The boutique fuses elements of modernity and artistry with the feeling of a residential space that is inviting and uniquely NARS. The black and white color scheme echoes the brand’s signature packaging. A red, high gloss lacquer block (color matched to Jungle Red Lipstick) stands at the rear of the boutique, positioned against a matte black wall. Offsetting the vintage accents are modern elements including floor-to-ceiling mirrors that feature hidden illuminated frames and a series of three screens featuring a loop of various films created by the brand. Sooo, what goodies are in store for you at 413 Bleecker? In addition to the full NARS cosmetics product line – displayed in a custom-designed unit , the boutique also carries items both accumulated by François Nars throughout his travels and those that have served as inspiration in his product development (such as Exhibit A, by Guy Bourdin; or Belle de Jour, a film starring Catherine Deneuve).
The boutique officially opens tomorrow, so if I were you, I’d run, not walk there.
François Nars takes a moment to discuss:
Q: What are your favorite elements of the boutique’s design?
A: It’s very sleek and very open. I love the lighting and the use of technology. We incorporated video screens which preview NARS films—it’s all very interactive. The colors are very basic, but strong. Everything is white and black, with touches of red lacquer. It reminds of Guy Bourdin.
