Girl Code

Say this ten times fast: decorating your digits can make a digital difference.

Girl Code

High Five

Here's a staggering statistic: when polled in middle school, 74 percent of girls express an interest in science, technology, engineering and math, but by the time they reach high school and are asked what their college major will be, less than 1 percent choose computer science.

Well, Glamour Magazine and the manicure mavens at NCLA have decided to change that.

Nailed It

Hand in hand with four top designers -- Peter Som, Derek Lam, L'Wren Scott and Bibhu Mohapatra -- NCLA and Glamour offer the NCLA X Glamour collection: a quartet of couture nail wraps to perfect a polish-free manicure. $5 from each sale benefits Girls Who Code, a nonprofit working to close the gender gap in the technology and engineering sectors.

Why We Love It

We're fans of girl power in general, but when two fashion-forward powerhouses join forces and encourage young women to chase their dreams and break through gender stereotypes, we can't help but put our hands together in a huge round of applause. 

Snap up a set for yourself for just $16 here or at select Barney's Co-op stores.
