Still got green on the brain, thanks to Earth Day? Zoya is showing everyone their green thumb (or nails) with the 2013 Zoya Nail Polish Exchange, which extends beyond just one day of the year. Give your nail polish collection a makeover by trading in your old polish for toxin-free Zoya Nail Polish during the week of April 19th to April 26th (click here for complete rules). All you have to do is go to www.zoya.com, pick your favorite shades and apply the code ZOYAEARTH2013 to your order. Then once you’ve received your new polish, ship back your old non-Zoya polish and let Zoya take care of the rest. The best part is that each bottle costs only $4 and Zoya will properly dispose of your old polish according to EPA guidelines. Simple and clean; just the way we like it!
In other exciting nail news, now everyone can grow stronger and longer nails with just a manicure once in a while. Dermelect Cosmeceuticals has teamed up with nail expert and founder of top beauty blog FearNoBeauty.com Karie Frost to create ME’s Summer 2013 Lacquer Collection. The new Fearless Beauty collection contains four eye-popping shades with names that catch your attention as much as the colors themselves: RENEGADE-a vibrant jade, BUZZ-WORTHY– an electric lemon yellow, FEARLESS-a bold cobalt blue, and MOXIE– a bright pink hue. But creamy, high-voltage colors for the summer aren’t all this collection has to offer. As an added bonus, each shade contains vitamins and Dermelect’s signature anti-aging, peptide-infused formula that is designed to strengthen weak, brittle nails and help nails resist chipping and splitting with just two coats of this long lasting, high-shine polish. Sounds like magic in a bottle! Each polish retails for $14 each and will be available summer 2013 at www.dermelect.com and at high-end apothecaries, beauty boutiques, salons and doctors offices.

Attendees included ELLE’s editor in chief and creative director Robbie Myers and Joe Zee, Lala Anthony, Adrienne Bailon, Carrie Keegan, Phillip Bloch and hundreds more.
Kelly Rowland performing at ELLE’s Women in Music Celebration
Everyone performer AND attendee looked fabulous and the soundtrack for the night kept the crowd happy with a special DJ set by Harley Viera-Newton. But what better way to celebrate inspiring female musicians than with a private concert? The night ended on a high note with performances by folk singer Martha Wainwright, British pop sensation Rita Ora, and Kelly Rowland, who got the crowd dancing with a medley of Destiny’s Child and even some Whitney Houston songs in the mix. The concert was the perfect finale to this stylish and musical evening that left everyone dancing, even if they were wear donning sky high five inch heels.
