Zooey Deschanel recently tweeted this nautical manicure. 

Jewel encrusted. Color-block. Art deco inspired. These may sound like a season of runway trends, but they're actually fashion for your fingers. Celebs from Rihanna to Lauren Conrad are nail art regulars, wearing anything from delicately painted objects to funky stickers with their manicures. 

The word art is included in its name for a reason -- you can find thousands of intricate designs and their how-to's online. There are Tumblr pages, websites, and Youtube videos just for nail art worshipers. And there's no doubt those on Pinterest have seen one of the hundreds of boards dedicated to inspiration examples. 

Low-maintenance? Then nail art might not be your idea of beauty time well spent. Though it's all for fun, is it too complicated? We'll let you be the judge. Would you, or do you, try nail art? Or does it seem more like a guilty-pleasure hobby?

But we do have one DIY the minimalist and nail art addict could agree on. Choose your favorite clear nail top coat and glitter nail polish (in any color you like). Lightly paint the top of your nails with the glitter, lessening the sparkle as you make your way down. Top it off with the top coat and you've got yourself ombre-like nail art and beauty made simple.

    Medical treatment is often ncasseery to maintain the “capital hair”. It will only be effective in cases of temporary hair loss. Obtained by prescription, these medicines may be topical lotions type monoxidil 2% or 5% applied directly to parts of the scalp with alopecia. However, this treatment unfortunately implies a deterioration of vision, decreased libido, promote weight gain and development of down on the face and body.

    Minoxidil (Rogaine) does not speed up hair growth, it will only satumlite the hair follicles that produce hair no longer have because of the effects of alopecia or hair loss from the natural hormone di-hydro testosterone. There is no way to speed up hair growth, if your scalp is healthy. Nioxin products such as shampoos or mint increase / air conditioning the blood flow in the scalp to help, which can help if there is a requirement. Nioxin will also help address the health of your hair and scalp, it keeps from breaking and helps it stay long and thicker.
