Spotted on the runway of Jil Sanders Spring 2011 collection were hints of sparkle added to Simons “new minimalism” approach. Creating an “ultimate look” with shocking colors and child-like skirts he paired a rhinestone palette on the nails of the models. Back in 2009 when Katy Perry was seen with a rhinestone manicure at the AMA’s, more celebrities such as Beyonce and Rhianna have given nails more attention and have made them an accessory just like a handbag.
These sparkly manicures are not cheep and could cost up to a dollar a Swarovski rhinestone. Save your money and head to Sephora! Sephora has a nail polish similar to the “rhinestone look” called Sephora by OPI Only Gold For Me Top Coat which is $9 and will last you longer than a one time rhinestone mani. Along with Sephora by OPI Flurry Up Top Coat $9 and Sephora by OPI Sparkle Me Silver Top Coat $9 just to give you color options. Or try the ever-popular trend of DIY (Do it yourself), order rhinestones from Amazon.com and see how talented you are!

my friend bought the "only gold for me" polish at sephora for her halloween costume as treasure and she's still using it! it adds just the right touch with the glitz it provides and, like you said, it's becoming an accessory for her just like shoes or a handbag! recessionista's are here to stay :)
