LAYLA Cosmetics is based in Milan, Italy and is one of the first companies to introduce quite possibly the hottest trend in nail art today: magnetic nail polish.

Their amazing Magneffect Nail Polish creates one-of-a-kind nails with just a twirl of the special magnetic brush cap. The secret is the metallic iron particles blended into the nail lacquer. When exposed to the magnet on the cap, the results are the most organic-looking swirls and lines that make the nail polish look almost marbleized and three-dimensional!

We’re already having so much fun letting our creative sides out with this fun and unique nail polish. Experience it for yourself!

This week’s Zapponian Spotlight is on Lyndsey A., one of our awesome recruiters for the Zappos HR team.

Pick 3 words to describe your personal style.

L: Feminine, Classic and Understated

Who is your favorite musician or band?

L: I love Ben Folds (thanks to my husband, his #1 fan) and The Black Keys.  I also love ‘80s and ‘90s music that bring back great memories.

Name 3 things you never leave home without?

L: My cell phone, sunglasses and a purse (my outfit is just not complete without a purse)

If you could have dinner with one famous person, who would it be?

L: I wanted to write something profound here, but honestly, it would be Hugh Jackman because he is really nice to look at and I love his accent.

What’s the weirdest thing to ever happen to you?

L: When I was 16, I was at the park with a friend and saw a momma squirrel with about a dozen of her babies. We thought they were so cute so we got a little closer to get a better look.  That was when the cute little squirrels turned on us and starting chasing us across the park!  I am sure people thought we were crazy running for our lives away from cute, fuzzy little squirrels, but it really was a very scary experience.  To this day I will not get close to one and think that they are all out to get humans. 

What’s your favorite part about working at Zappos?

L: I love that there is always something fun and interesting going on, there really is never a dull day at Zappos.  It may be a Super Hero parade, Tu-Tu Tuesday or something simple like lunch with my team, but every day is a fun adventure here! 

Here are just a few snapshots from all the Halloween fun we had yesterday! It was great to see all the funny and inventive costumes! We finished off the day with the Downtown Las Vegas Halloween Parade where the Zappos.com Halloween float won first place.

We hope you all had a great Halloween as well (with lots of candy, of course!).
