BETH DITTO NAILS IT
Jane got the Birkin bag, but Beth gets a nail polish.
It's no secret the worlds of fashion and beauty often crash, but when was the last time a beauty company chased a rock star? If the only thing you could come up with was Beyonce for L'Oreal, then focus: There's a new cosmetic out, and it's all about Beth Ditto.
Called Black Beth, the new nail polish was inspired by The Gossip lead singer, whose most recent performance was for Karl Lagerfeld himself at Wednesday's Fendi party.
Black Beth was created by Marianne Newman, a British manicurist whose invention, The Inkredible, is basically a paint pen but with nail polish. Designed to make it almost impossible to smudge or smear your nails, it's a way better option than the pre-teen strategy of coloring them with Sharpie - though Beth Ditto (and I) have definitely done that, too.

you should stop photographing so many stupid people and move on to edgy and raw unknowns like you guys used to do.
Beth is great, she's a prime example of what your magazine is about. Some other things that you've been doing lately, they're no the NYLON I used to know and love.
pefectly black!

I LOVE beth. I also LOVE this nail polish. I picked some up on a recent trip to London and it rocks. The guy I spoke to said it would last much longer than nail polish because it's different.... This is why it's a bit more expensive. Love to Nylon magazine keep doing what you're doing. Chrissx

I'm with Chrissy, the nail colour is FAB, the guys that demonstrate it are sooooo sexy too. Going back for more colours. Worth every penny. Did mine at work and was ready to go in less than 5 mins !!!!!
