A Nail Polish Made out of Actual Metal? We Try it out

A Nail Polish Made out of Actual Metal? It Exists, and We’ve Tried it

Confession time: I hoard nail polish. Boxes of it. In fact, I still have a train case full of (questionably old) bottles at my parents house, but I digress.

There’s nothing that beats a fresh slick of paint on my talons. In my polish arsenal, I have amassed quite a selection over the years. My faithful Nails Inc and Orly bottles sit amongst US indie brands and intense holographics.

The Best Shampoo for Dry Hair, According to Hairstylists

There are few things as frustrating as dry, damaged hair. It might feel like the only solution is to slather on an intensive, thick conditioning hair mask, but actually, a suitable shampoo is equally as important.

Before you choose your shampoo, you’ll need to figure out why your
