In the Nude....Spring Nails


Manicured nails....A must for social events.
It's the finishing touch, the icing on the cake.

So let us begin with a word about nail length and shape.
Rx:  Short, squared off ovals.
Follow this advice and you'll be in vogue this season and possibly forever.





Aaaaaah, the French Manicure
Versatile, classic, elongates the nail bed, long lasting, goes with everything.

There is the thick, pinkier version with shocking white tips often seen in the OC.



and the more natural version.

  

As much as we love the French manicure we can't say the same about the French pedicure.  No,no,no....just say no!


And when time has run out and you are about to dash out the door....
Just go nude.
  Sally Hansen's Insta Dry is a miracle in a bottle.

And never ever be boring."
