CHiPs: The Nail Edition.

Someone call the nail police!

The New York Times broke the anti manicure story yesterday.

It seems that those Hollywood hellcats that have influenced such trends as the deliberate bed head and "I may look a mess but check out my killer shoes and bag" have also given rise to the—gasp—chipped nails. (But I'm voting for the hipsters inventing it. God knows those 'Burgers love the irony)

Yep, it seems that wearing super dark and artfully chipped polish is socially acceptable these days. Cue CoCo and the fastidious great aunts rolling in their graves. And while the "Gee, I wish I was always so pulled together" part of me is slightly in shock, my true self, the messy Jessie in me says: "I'm in hog heaven." - Jenna Mahoney

Be careful, though - I was 'chipping' this morning and a piece shot into my eye. My eye has been runny and red all day!!
