Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics will be opening their first flagship store in NYC tomorrow, September 22nd! More specifically, they’ll be on the Lower East Side where CEO/Creative Director of OCC, David Klasfeld says, “has really become the true hub of all things creative and artistic coming out of New York.

Taking it Uptown: Art for Change
On Friday I took the hike uptown to East Harlem for the Art for Change “Noche Clandestina.” Tucked away in an unassuming basement gallery, the night was full of art, spoken word, and a special burlesque performance by Brown Girl’s Burlesque.
Art for Change encourages the advancement of progressive social change by using art as a catalyst for disseminating information to people.
Artists used various mediums to convey experiences, struggles and aspirations, inspiring people to consider, with a questioning eye, their ways of life, their environment, their roles, how various systems work, and ways to improve their lives and environment.

Fred Butler Uses @MinxNailsDotCom at London FW S/S 2012
On September 18th, Fred Butler presented his Spring/Summer 2012 collection during London Fashion Week using custom Minx Nails to enhance his already vibrant collection. Bulter collaborated with UK nail stylist Marian Newman and Minx Nails co-founder Janice Jordan to create a nail coating to fit with his theme of little underwater sea creatures.
Using MinxLusion, the team was able to add little fins and gills to the nails to create gorgeous whimsical nail fashion. Each of the four models sported different customized nail styles for the presentation. Check out how amazing these nails looked!
