Fashion Alert: black nails are out navy nails are in!

Thank goodness there is a new hot color because I have been sporting dark, almost black, nail polish for two years! Like every other trend black nail lacquer has tricked down so that everyone is wearing it. Women over 50 are even wearing it. Celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Mischa Barton, and Nicole Richie all rocked the trend. Lindsay took it up a notch by always having chipped nails. The famed fashion house Chanel known for it's couture and demure clothing came out with a black color called black satin that was such a coveted item that it was auctioned off on eBay for $100.
OPI that well known nail lacquer company has just introduced it's knew Russian Collection. I absolutely adore all these colors. The colors are all sultry and are great alternatives to black shades. My favorite color is Russian Navy. It still provides the same dark wild flair that black does but with knew edge. More importantly, it sets you apart from everyone else in the world who is still wearing black. Sarah Michelle Geller is the first celebrity to don the color. Way to go Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Unfortunately, the nail salon I frequent didn't have the color in yet but I am looking forward to trying it this week. I will keep you posted on how it looks and the response I get.

If navy is a bit too riskay for you. Don't worry reds are still all the rage. There are so many great reds out there. Right now, I'm wearing Essie's Fish Net Stockings, Deep purples, maroons, and even gray have been spotlighted as being hip colors.

Bottom line: Venture outside the box and try something knew. Say goodbye to black nails, it used to be cutting edge but now it has become the norm. Try a color that will shock people. Remember it's not permanent, it'll be gone in a week.
