It's also, notably, Lola Tung's first major role since The Summer I Turned Pretty. During a Q&A after the film, she talked about the contrast between the two roles. Dressed in a black lingerie top with a black skirt and a black cape, like she was ready to go into the woods and conduct a sacrifice, she quipped, 'I mean, I don't know, Cousins is pretty dangerous.'

On top, an iridescent chrome powder creates that signature color shift. Of course, none of these techniques are new - chrome powders and cat-eye gels have both been trending on their own recently - but paired together, they deliver a nail design that feels surprisingly fresh.

Blythe dolls have big eyes, pouty lips, and perfect makeup, plus really fun outfits, hairstyles, and accessories.
