The city-dwelling lifestyle produces many style hazards, including but not limited to; the classic broken-heel-in-a-subway grate, overhead pigeon mishaps, and the constant threat of an entire outfit being soaked with murky street water by a passing cab.

With nail art trends like hand-painted artwork, filed shapes (#squovalFTW), and UV gel still holding strong, chipping away at your iPhone screen with your talons can be a really expensive mistake.
