2012 saw reverse French manicures with dark tips, instead of the traditional white on the bottom, but for the New Year and beyond, expect French manicures with a new, different twist.

The sideways French mani, a vertical split, will be popular as well as pale nails with a striking diagonal tip, half moon accent or other graphic shape in a contrasting shade.

Color blocking is in as well, seeing tans, nudes or peaches paired with a bold bright color. It consists of wearing large, bright blocks of seemingly disparate colors that will compliment each other.

If you love your nail polish to be bold but not overwhelming, you’ll adore the Dior Vernis Cruise Collection 2013. All three shades — Lime, Mango and Pasteque are vivid with a fresh and sexy flair.

The Mariah Carey by OPI Spring 2013 Nail Polish Collection, which was released at the start of 2013, features eight new limited edition shades inspired and hand-selected by Mariah Carey. What’s totally cool is that four of them feature a new technology, OPI Liquid Sand, which features a textured matte mixed with glitter. My favorite color of the collection? Stay the Night — a matte black with red glitter accents. You can find the collection at OPI retailers with each lacquer priced at $9.

Black nail polish isn’t just for the gothic style scene. Dark nail polish is usually hot for winter, but this trend will even carry into spring this year. At Spring-Summer 2013 Fashion Week, there were plenty of dark nails at the New York shows.

Whatever nail polish you are wearing in 2013, make sure you touch up your nails often. Chipped nail polish is definitely not in style for the New Year.

Spring 2012 Enrollment Tips and Advice

By: Narges Taghavi, Feature Editor

Spring 2012 Enrollment 

Spring enrollment starts Nov. 7 and students might want to pick up the Spring 2012 schedule to help them decide which classes they want to take next semester.

One thing students should keep in mind is that online classes and general education classes fill up fast; students should enroll in those classes as soon as possible.

Students can either enroll online, through Oasis or meet with an academic adviser that will help with enrollment.

There are pros and cons to both forms of enrollment. It really depends on personal preference; students should be aware that if they choose to see an adviser it is very helpful to be prepared by bring in a list of classes that have already been taken, their chosen major, and how many credits they are likely to take.

Another tip is that once the course schedule for next semester is done, take it to the Rose State bookstore in the Student Center and ask them if they know which books are required for each class and, if known, when they will become available.

In order to beat the book buying rush, make sure to keep track of the days books become available or when they can be bought.

Keep these tips in mind when enrolling, and remember that even though fall semester might just be ending, spring enrollment is right around the corner.
