Paris Moon

I love the look, just not in the square shape on her, this makes her nails appear way too masculine and boxy. In order to pull this look off correctly her manicurist should have stuck to a more rounded shape near the free edge . Kudos to her for sporting the trend! Wonder if she will MINX soon?

Pairing the hues of blues

Pairing nail color and fashion are important.This sleek look can make your blue nails pop!

To get this look choose dark blue or gray with a touch of shimmer.
Chanel won me over when I tried their Blue Satin.


This Chic Limted editon blue is a deep, rich, really dark, and close to black. 
Next up would be OPI's shades. 


Blue Navy


Yoga-ta Get This Blue

Opi Ink

Light My Sapphire

Although the matte is really hot right now the polish tends to look flat and dull after a day or two, shimmery formulations stay shinier longer. Shimmer also makes a deep color softer and easier to pull off. Keeping nails short and flat at the top are key , while rounding them at the edges.

Half Moon sky is the limit

According to LA Times nails have replaced the statement necklace, earrings and "it" bag as the accessory du jour.
My favorite quote from this article.
"Nails not only make a statement, they're an accessory that is more affordable and forgiving than most others. "You don't have to be a size 2 to have great nails or be able to spend a lot of money like you would on a bag. It's an element of fashion that is for everyone."

As Arnold puts it, "Nails are the ultimate cheap thrill."
