It's safe to say that when it comes to nail polish, black is the new neutral. But if glossy darkness is beginning to bore you, here's a cool way to update it. I ran into a friend the other day and loved her nail polish so much that I had to snap a picture:
She got this look by using a base coat, then slicking on two coats of
Essie nail color ($8) in Licorice.
Get a load of these six, sexy, shiny, and rich
fall nail polishes from Essie. They sell for
$8 each or you can buy the set for $45. Instead of being ultratrendy — think neon, dark, or metallic — the colors are a collection of modernized classics.
We've been seeing a lot of
hot pink nails lately and we've heard everyone go on about
neon nails, but the only one who's really been wearing any of the other super-bright shades has been
Rihanna.
I predict that all of this is about to change. With the warm weather setting in and Lindsay Lohan getting on the
orange-nail bandwagon, something tells me that this trendsetter is going to jump-start a neon-nail bonanza.
Check out the neon nails on Diane Kruger! Ever since the
Costume Institute Gala I've been dying to talk about how she matched her shoes to her nails.
Celebrities and especially teenagers are going bonanza over the new fun, pop-colored nail polish quads from Essie and Chanel.
Although the new
Summer 2008 Essie Nail Polish Collection isn't inspired by the girls of
The Hills, the colors are similar to the
Zoya Gossip collection. The range contains six sexy coral, rose, orange and pink shades perfect for adding a punch of happy color to your nails or toes. Don't let the provocative names scare you off; even good girls need to shake things up a little bit in the summer.
