A Nail of a Different Color

There are thousands upon thousands of different shades of nail polish, ranging from fire engine red and dark plum to neon yellow and electric blue. All it takes is a single celebrity or stylist to get paparazzied with a hot new hue on their finger tips and that shade will fly off the shelves! Rachel Zoe raved over Chanel’s Jade nail polish, and now you can only find this stunning shamrock tone on Ebay for a whopping $99! I have searched for a moderately priced bottle, but it just isn’t going to happen…second choice is O.P.I.’s Get In Lime knockoff…which I am planning to order tonight! It may not be Chanel...but the shade is pretty damn close!


Baby pink shades are classic and always in style! Being newly engaged and sporting a gorgeous rock, I have grown to appreciate a simple pale pink hue that compliments my stunning stone, without overpowering it! It is also great when you are rocking a big chunky cocktail ring...too many colors will spoil the effect...every now and then...less is more! Currently my fav is O.P.I.’s Catch The Garter…perfect name for one that is preparing for her wedding day! Bubble Bath is a close and very similar second! These subtle lacquers are great with just one coat, transforming your nails to just barely pink while still remaining translucent for an ultra-natural look!




For a great berry-look, check out O.P.I.’s No Spain No Gain which is a great alternative to a classic cherry red. Have you figured out my favorite nail polish brand yet??? Ok, Ok...O.P.I. isn’t the only great brand to purchase when it comes to great nail paint… another fav is Lippmann Collection… Nefertiti for a fun gold, perfect for the holidays, or Call Me Irresponsible for a funky “vivacious violet.”


Regardless of your choice of polish, just try to explore outside the box of normality. Fun greens, purples, and navy blues all work with this season’s runway fashion. If you prefer for your hands to remain relatively neutral, try something funky on your tootsies to spice up your body make-up! You never know….you may enjoy a nail of a different color!
