From the mild to the outrageous, 3D nail art is nothing new to the hip hop and underground culture in Japan. I actually rocked a lot of 3D nail art [...]
By Jonathan Hayes Academy Award winning actreess and singer, Jennifer Hudson says she is completely obsessed with shopping since her dramatic weight loss.
