Hurricane Irene is a-comin’, and that bitch ain’t stoppin’. We just gave you some useful life-saving tips for how to survive the storm, but once you’re safe, sound, indoors and potentially without electricity, how will you survive the boredom? Be productive with your you-time and turn Irene into your personal spa therapist. Just pretend the sound outside is a Vichy shower…

In with the old out with the new, it’s always the same story of boredom when it comes to nails even though the nudes, greys, peach, metallics, and blacks are every girls favorite for this Spring 2011, it doesn’t mean you always have to dull down your hands!

It may be a perennial shade, but now—spring–is the optimal time to lacquer your fingers and toes with a soft, opaque infantile pink. At first I was unconvinced, but after having recently tried the color out for myself, I became fascinated with how beautifully subtle and universally flattering the hue can be. It looks stunning on just about every skin tone and registers a clean, sophisticated look. Take a much-needed break from in-your-face neons and heavy darks, and give this delicate, creamy tint a try. Best bets:
‘I Pink I Love You’ by OPI
‘Wedded Bliss’ by Sally Hansen
‘Limo Scene’ by Essie
