10th Commandment: August 9

Aug 9, 2010

Recently, I saw a photo of Vanessa Hudgens in a magazine sporting a single metallic-lacquered fingernail on each hand.  While I’m still not sure why this girl is famous, I do love metallic nail polishes, especially with a Summer tan.

    Belle, I’ll do you one better for the Unpaid Interns. Try Wet n Wild Color Craze in “Shieild”. Only $1.99.

  2. Dr. Jean Grey says:

    I don’t know why, but I can’t stand frosty nails on myself. I can only do cremes. One trend I am going to try over recess is are the “blackberry nails.” Essentially, you paint your hands a shade and go crazy on the thumbs with the glitter. I have an important meeting tomorrow morning, after that I’m going to bling them out and do matching glittler all over my toes.

  3. Stephanie says:

    Dr. Jean, Sally Hansen has a color called Diamonds (from the Diamond Strength line) that’s awesome for layering–it’s clear with silvery-white glitter in it. I love to put one coat of that on top of either really dark shades (crimson, violet, etc.) or really pale, nude shades.

  4. Dr. Jean Grey says:

    Thanks, Stephanie! I’ll check it out. I have a nice lavendar creme I might pair it with—or maybe coral? Hmm…choices, choices

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
