Megan Thee Stallion's Thermal Manicure Is Hot With a Capital H

Megan Thee Stallion's manicures are always it — typically super long, full of gorgeous, bright colors, and in a lipstick shape. She's no stranger to switching it up either, with eye-catching designs like the baby blue French manicure with sheer blue tips or the blue, green, and yellow ombré set she debuted in February. The rapper has consistently displayed her manicured acrylic nails on Instagram and her latest set is cobalt blue with colorful thermal art. 

Thee Stallion has been traveling a lot lately to perform her hits in different cities and countries, and she wore this manicure at the Atlanta Music Midtown festival. On September 19, she posted an Instagram carousel featuring two close-ups of the nails, plus a few other pics of her performing on stage. Like many of her manicures, these nails are long and unique. On top of the vibrant blue that forms the base of the set are colorful, mismatched blobs that resemble thermal heat imaging.

The blue and orange in the nails even match the colors of the short-sleeve crop top she performed in. This time around she went for a more subtle lipstick shape with a slightly angled tip. To accessorize, she chose several vivid Y2K-esque rings that complement the manicure. 

It has only been two days but Thee Stallion has already moved on to her next nail set, which she posted on her Instagram Story, and it's just as good. The thermal nail art has been replaced by a French manicure with a yin and yang design on the tips in two complementing blue hues. Keep the inspo coming, Meg.

ZnO nanoparticles against biofilm and bacteria

A new study has evaluated the in vitro efficacy of green synthesised ZnO nanoparticles against biofilm and virulence of Serratia marcescens.

Zinc oxide reduced into nanosized exhibits antibacterial activity due to the interaction of ZnO with the cell surface and inside of the bacteria making them adaptive candidate for antibacterial activity. ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) synthesised using plant extract and their biomolecules makes them a safer, non-toxic and bactericidal solution against pathogenic bacteria. Till date, only few research articles are published on analysing the antibiofilm and anti-virulence activity of ZnO NPs synthesised using Ruellia tuberosa extract. A new study was now focused on synthesising ZnO NPs using Ruellia tuberosa and efficacy to inhibit biofilm formation and virulence factor of Serratia marcescens.

Efficacy of green fabricated ZnO NPs

ZnO NPs at the concentration of 100 μg/mL showed highest antibacterial activity by reducing S. marcescens growth upto 4-fold in comparison to untreated bacteria (1.8 OD600nm). ZnO NPs also showed 50% of inhibition of biofilm formation 25 μg/mL concentration. Microscopic analysis revealed the phenotypical change in the biofilm matrix formation after treating with >25 μg/mL of ZnO NPs. Prodigiosin, a quorum sensing regulated factor of S. marcescens was also inhibited >70% at 100 μg/mL concentration of ZnO NPs. Therefore, the present study shows the efficacy of green fabricated ZnO NPs to inhibit the growth, biofilm, and virulence factor of S. marcescens.

The study has been published in Progress in Organic Coatings, Volume 166, May 2022.

The Highlighter Instagram Star Sierra Furtado Swears by for Perfect Selfies

As far as Instagram-famous twentysomethings go, 22-year-old Sierra Furtado is up there. She has about 1 million Instagram followers and 2 million subscribers to her YouTube channel, where she posts videos about everything from makeup looks to how to take good Instagram photos. I asked Furtado to share her biggest tips for taking better selfies.

Lighting is everything.

"I learned this through YouTube, because lighting videos is really important. Lighting can make a photo look ten times better. I usually like to stand in front of a window—like directly in front of it."

Don't underestimate car selfies.

"I do a lot of car selfies. The lighting is always pretty good in a car because you're basically outside. It just really brightens up your face."

Take the time to find your angles; it'll show you how far away you should be holding the camera.

"When you're holding the camera in front of you, you don't want to be too close and get too many details of your face. Take the time to know your angles, and to know what side of your face you want to take a photo of."

Use the same filter for every single photo.

"I use the same filter to make all my photos look the same. I always use the HD1 filter from the VSCO Cam app. And I really like to play with the saturation, exposure, and the contrast of a photo. You can edit a photo without even putting a filter on by just doing those things."

Don't be afraid of using the Facetune app.

"Sometimes I use the skin-smoothing tool on Facetune to make my face look better. If you have an option to fix an insecurity, why not? No one really wants to look at a pimple, so it makes the photo better. Just don't go overboard with it."

Get a good highlighter.

"I wear a full face of makeup. I always put on foundation, and my highlight has to be on fleek, because when you're taking a selfie, it makes you all glow-y. My favorite foundation is Becca Ever-Matte Shine Proof Foundation, and my favorite highlighter is the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Shimmering Skin Perfector in Champagne Pop.

Invest in a selfie light.

"I use the Stellar Diva Ring Light, which is the same one Kylie Jenner uses. It makes your eyes really pop, by putting really nice circle in your eyes. It makes you look flawless."

OK, a $300 selfie light may be a little extreme if you're not Instagram-famous, but at least now you know the perfect recipe for a perfect selfie: good lighting, better makeup, and a hint of Facetune.

Preview: Angers vs Lyon

Angers will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing midweek defeat when they face Lyon at the Stade Jean Bouin on Saturday afternoon. The hosts have faltered in recent weeks, falling to Nice, PSG and, most recently, Reims. They are, however, very much still in the fight for a Champions League qualification spot; Stephane Moulin’s men head into this match fourth in the table.

Lyon, meanwhile, reverted back to winning ways by defeating Bordeaux 3-0 in midweek. Their recent poor form means the visitors still languish in 10th, but due to the tightness of Ligue 1’s mid-table, they can move to within one point of Angers and the top four if they win this one.

Earlier this season, Angers beat Lyon 2-0 thanks to a Cheikh Ndoye brace.

Serge Aurier embroiled in seismic Periscope scandal

Ivory Coast international and PSG right-back Serge Aurier is this morning embroiled in a seismic scandal concerning certain comments that he made whilst being broadcasted live on Periscope by a friend and fellow footballer Mamadou Doucouré, who asks Aurier the majority of the questions which the PSG player responds to in short, sharp and horrifying fashion.

It was 22:00 CET on Saturday when Serge Aurier was with a friend which Get French Football News can reveal as Mamadou Doucouré and decided to launch a Periscope broadcast, an application that broadcasts live on the internet, with fans being able to comment and watch their interactions appear on the side of the video stream for the world and Aurier to see.

For nearly 90 minutes it lasted, as is fashionable at the moment for footballers, but the damage that Aurier did during that time was seismic and shocking. During the broadcast, Aurier insults a variety of individuals through answering questions that his friend Mr Doucouré asks and also through a rap which Aurier is asked to do.

Aurier realises that he went too far and removes the video, making it inaccessible to those who were not watching live. Unfortunately, the trouble only just begins there for Serge Aurier because individuals have footage from the live session, which almost unequivocally proves that the Ivorian said the things that he is alleged to have said.

During the broadcast, Aurier appears to describe PSG manager Laurent Blanc as “une fiotte” which translates to “homosexual” or, in some cases, “fa**ot” and when asked if Laurent Blanc sucks Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s male genitalia, Aurier replies: “he takes it all”

The Ivorian goes on to insult Salvatore Sirigu by appearing to call him “rubbish”, Gregory van der Wiel is described as “wetter than water” before a questionable foul-mouthed tirade concerning a Marseille fan who posts a comment during the Periscope live feed that includes Aurier telling him that he “will have sex with nobody”.

In the early hours of Sunday morning Canal + journalist Pierre Menes claims to have spoken with Serge Aurier and announces that the player is going to seek legal action for the falsification of the video. Now, it would be pretty staggering for someone to be able to falsify a live feed on Periscope involving Serge Aurier. During the video, Aurier’s face is intermittently, clearly seen. Menes also said that Aurier’s camp claimed that the video came from four months ago.

However, particular abuse aimed at Edinson Cavani proves that this theory will not hold up. During the broadcast, Aurier was asked about Cavani’s performance against Lille, a match that occurred only yesterday afternoon. Aurier allegedly replied: something to the tune of if you bet on him scoring you should call him, I will give you his number.

This morning, BFMTV claims that Aurier’s entourage has revealed to them that actually the player does not deny the existence of the video and that Aurier himself merely did not think of the consequences.

The player is expected to be suspended by PSG for several games and fined. Some are even suggesting that Blanc will look to sell the player in summer.

It is important to note that Laurent Blanc was targeted several times by Aurier in the alleged broadcast and that we have only quoted excerpts from the broadcast which are appropriate for our audience to read.

PSG will make a statement in the coming hours. The player was not in training with PSG this morning.

Karim Benzema’s court supervision order lifted

Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has seen the court supervision order which previously prevented him from making contact with Mathieu Valbuena lifted today by the courts.

Benzema, who is accused of being complicit in the act of blackmail of French national team colleague Mathieu Valbuena concerning an alleged sextape, had previously been barred from entering into contact with the Lyon attacking midfielder and with any of the other accused individuals in the case.

The state prosecution have announced that they will appeal the suspension of Karim Benzema’s court supervision as they continue their investigation. The appeal will be heard on the 4th March.

From a legal standpoint for now, Karim Benzema and Mathieu Valbuena could represent the French national team together again.

Benzema remains suspended by the French Football Federation from representing the national team following the state accusations against the Real Madrid man, a suspension that is unlikely to be altered until Benzema is either convicted or cleared of any wrongdoing.

Marquinhos dreaming of the Premier League

According to Gianluca di Marzio, PSG central defender Marquinhos could seriously attempt to leave the club this summer, as he continues to struggle to break into the starting XI, currently being blocked by David Luiz and Thiago Silva.

The Italian reporter says that while the player is in contract with Barcelona, according to Spanish press reports, Marquinhos’s dream is the Premier League.

Manchester United have been in contact for the player previously and the Italian transfer guru claims that should José Mourinho take over at the Red Devils in the summer, then the Portuguese manager will make Marquinhos one of his key priorities.
