Pedicure Cheat

You know those days when winter has passed and you pull your favorite sandals out of the closet...and discover your toenails are suffering from the lack of a good pedicure? (One can hardly admire the first spring sandal wearing without nice looking feet!)

N.Y.C. Quick Dry Nail Polish in Mulberry Street (212B) is the answer! It is the perfect neutral , with the perfect amount of shine. I was in a hurry recently and only applied one coat but it was enough and it dried without a smudge by the time I finished brushing my teeth! (I never get away without a smudge!)

What beauty products do you swear by?

Gucci Purple

What colors will you be wearing for summer?
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I lust after the purple eyeshadow in the Spring '09 Gucci ads! I lust after the dresses as well, but I can replicate the color much easier than the clothes. (Of course this is not my photo.)

I'm not sure you can tell in this particular photo, but the shadow has a blueish under tone, which makes it sort of iridescent...check it out if you come across the ad in a magazine. Lovely! Anyway, as glorious a shade as it is, this is a definite night look and most of us would find it a little hard to pull off.

But hold on girls!

You too can have this glam hue at your fingertips! I found this N.Y.C. polish at my local Walgreen's...

It's #133, Purple Pizzazz Frost from their Long-Wearing Nail Enamel line, and it probably cost me about 99 cents, plus tax. Bargain! (It's so you J4!)

I know it might be a little bold on the fingers, but imagine it on your toes! Super fun! It's going to look great with my little safari jacket.

Now to figure out the safest way to tackle the eyeshadow....
