Gina Carney, the founder of RGB Nail Polish, says that she’s not trying to find today’s hot hues, but rather to put out tiny seasonal collections of colors she thinks will be classics five years hence. Judging by our complete sell through of her seasonal collections and our growing demand for her core collections, she'll have plenty of work to do for years to come.

Dedicated solely to nail colour and care, RGB is a product line that sees nail colour as an extension of one's wardrobe; using colour as an accessory. With a core collection of ten iconic colours with a modern edge, each shade is RGB's sharp take on a classic tone with a straightforward name to match. Offering exciting new colours seasonally, the chip-resistant and high shine formula is free of harmful chemicals (there is no formaldehyde, toluene, or dbp in any RGB colours) and all RGB products are cruelty free, and made in the USA.

Spring 2012 arrivals from RGB include the incredible popular core collection of shades (including smash hits Oxblood, Toast, Minty, Camel, Vert & Seal) as well as three new seasonal shades: RGB Fade is a soft, sunny faded ecru. RGB Dew is an opaque, pale green. And RGB Vellum is a perfectly muted, buttery yellow. A full spectrum of RGB Nail Polish shades to take our ladies into spring is now available at Still Life For Her.

Over the years, Filson's philosophy has never changed: Make sure it's the absolute bestClinton Filson spent a lot of time talking to his customers and refining his designs to their specifications. So it's not surprising that the items that worked then still work today, over 100 years since he started the company. Comfort, protection and durability never go out of style.

Filson has long been one of our favourite most versatile, rugged, and sought-after brands at Still Life. We've restocked in some of this winter's seasonal accessories ranging from Tin Cloth tote bags, duffle bags and umbrellas to heavy duty canvas and leather ruck sacks and briefcases, and classic Filson leather-bound flasks and Mackinaw Wool vests. Some of these items seriously flew off our shelves this past autumn/winter, so if you're feeling the press of the winter cold, swing by either shop and pick up some rugged Filson accessories.

Filson goods are still made and guaranteed in Seattle - available to take you through the winter at both Still Life For Him & For Her.
