All That Glitters
Merry Midnight, part of OPI's new Holiday Wishes 2009 collection, is a perfect shade to make nails and toes sparkle this holiday season. The lacquer's purple base is right on-trend, while blue glitter and shiny red flakes give it a festive feel that can dress up even the simplest black party dress. opi.com —L.M.

WHAT'S ON YOUR IPOD?
We asked Steven Norton, music buff, editorial stylist and owner of Fly Salon in Raleigh, NC, what he's been listening to.

"Temperamental" by Everything but the Girl. "This song not only provides inspiration, but it is also high energy. I usually play it around 5:00 p.m. and into the night to keep me going on those long days at the shop."
"Magnolia Mountain" by Ryan Adams and the Cardinals. "Ryan's soulful voice is always easy and makes for a relaxed mood when the salon is busy and I need to shift down."
"Boxcar" by The Rosebuds. This is one of my favorite tracks from a Raleigh-based band that always gets me moving. I love the gypsy beat and lyrics that are perfect for sparking the creative brain.
"Reckoner" by Radiohead. "My spirit is complete when I hear this song. I can listen to it anytime—morning, noon or night."
