As a teenager, Tina Craig, the founder of U Beauty, was a sun worshipper. It was the ’80s (a time when there was less awareness about the importance of SPF), and she regularly laid out in the SoCal sunshine without protection. It wasn’t until Craig flew home to Asia between […]
Last September, my partner Renee moved from Singapore to Los Angeles so we could start a life together — a grand and undeniably romantic gesture usually reserved for lovers.

The minute Euphoria‘s second season premiered on HBO, people started talking about the nails. “Did you see that chrome manicure on Fezco’s grandma?” a friend texted me after watching the first episode, which opened with a closeup of long, squared, gold-mirrored acrylics wrapped around the barrel of a revolver.
