Girls get Nailed

Although we haven’t spoken much about the new Girls series (mainly because we haven’t spoken much about anything recently), it is a welcome relief from some of the shit that is on TV at the moment. Series two started on my birthday – and for those of you who don’t know when that was, it was the 14th January.

To celebrate the second series of the hit show, celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann has launched a limited edition Nail Lacquer Set, comprising of four shades of polish, each one based on the four characters in the show:

HANNAH Hapless Hunter Green

MARNIE Prim And Proper Pink

SHOSHANNA Virtuous Vivid Violet

 JESSA Bohemian Burgundy

The collection’s tag line is: “Independent. Feminine. Playful. Sexy.” Four words that sum up the characters and feel of the show. Writer and star of the show Lena Dunham says of the collection:

“Deborah Lippmann’s colors are irreverent and classy and I’ve always coveted them (and stolen them from my mother), so who better to embody the GIRLS’ spirit in polish form,” said Lena. “I’ve been wearing Hannah like it’s going out of style.”

The GIRLS Nail Lacquer set is available now
