Original story: Photo editing app PicsArt has received a pretty hefty update on Windows Phone today, bringing an all-new interface along with several new features.
Update 2: The PicsArt app is now back in the Windows Phone Store.
Update: The app has been pulled from the store as it apparently is crashing when users try to open it. We will update this post when it goes live again
Along with the refreshed interface, PicsArt users can now import images from Instagram and touch up their images with a number of new tools and effects.
Here's the breakdown of what's new in PicsArt for Windows Phone:

As you can see from the screenshots above, the new interface looks quite a bit cleaner than before. The refreshed UI features a new white icon for the ever-present logo in the upper-left corner and uniform tiles for accessing different features of the app.
