, , , , , and all have in common? All are devoted fans of milk nails which – news flash – is shaping up to be the biggest of 2023. Milk nails aren't exactly new, but following on from the “clean-girl” makeup aesthetic, they're a soft, delicate, and subtle take on the '90s Frenchie, which has been resurrected over the past few summers. Rather than a clear contrast between the pale pink base and the bright white tip, milk nails see the two shades merge into one another for a pretty milky mani shade that provides the perfect polished neutral to quietly compliment any outfit.For the indecisive nail types out there, the semi-opaque milky pink is the perfect middle ground between getting a block color and a neutral hue, but it's more low-key than shouty nail art and it's subtler than the sheeny that had us mesmerized over the past year.Recently, we saw Aniston give a glimpse of the fresh simple milk mani she's been sporting for the press run of her latest film Murder Mystery 2.This content can also be viewed on the site it from.

Addie Morfoot Contributor Monday marks the 20th anniversary of the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq. CPH:DOX will reflect on the repercussions of the war, which ousted Saddam Hussein, but never led to the discovery of weapons of mass destruction, by screening two documentaries: Greta Stocklassa’s “Blix Not Bombs” and Karrar Al-Azzawi’s “Baghdad on Fire.”“(The invasion) was an event that has shaped international politics over the course of the last two decades in unpredictable and often devastating ways,” says CPH:DOX head of program Mads Mikkelsen. “Not least inside Iraq itself. (‘Blix Not Bombs’ and ‘Baghdad on Fire’) provide two different takes – a shot and reverse shot – on the course of events back in 2003 and on the current situation in Iraq as seen from the inside and through the eyes of the young.”“Blix Not Bombs” follows Hans Blix, the former head of the U.N. Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission, who was sent to Iraq in 2002 to determine whether U.S. suspicions that the country was manufacturing weapons of mass destruction were founded. Though the final report found no evidence of an Iraqi weapons program under Hussein, the U.S. and a coalition of allies nevertheless decided to invade the country. Now in the final stretch of his life, Blix questions whether he did enough to prevent a war whose impact is felt to this day.
