Who hasn't seen the pictures? The snaps of Miranda Kerr's infinite legs gliding through the airport with baby Flynn perched on one hip, J.

Illamasqua Rubber Nail Polish
We've seen caviar nails, magnetic polish, and crackle lacquer, but now, there's rubber. Continuing the textured nail polish trend comes Illamasqua's new rubberized nail polish. Available in six super bright shades ranging from hot pink to sky blue, the polish was inspired by the color-coded specialties of dominatrix boots worn by girls in 1920s Berlin. It dries completely matte and just might change the lacquer game.
