Work a coloured mani

Wed, 18 August 2010 4:05PM

Push those dark polishes to the back of the cupboard Primpers, warm weather is on the way and it’s high time some colour was splashed across your digits. I love a bold mani, and my nail bed inspiration is Glee sweetheart Dianna Agron, who rocked an eye-catching blue varnish at the 2010 Breakthrough Of The Year Awards. Miss A kept her nails short and neat and the blue hue matched her floral Carolina Herrera dress to perfection. Props to you D for playing with colour.

Here she is:

And a closeup:

Don’t be afraid to stray from your fave nude or vampy shades, injecting colour into your nails will be the hottest trend this season and besides, it’s fun! Amp up any outfit with our pick: Yodel Me on My Cell from OPI’s Swiss Collection. It’s a rich, bright blue and looks a little like this:

Want to give deep purple or dark green a go? There are eleven other vibrant shades in the OPI collection that are guaranteed to suit any Swiss miss. They are: Cuckoo For This Colour, Lucerne-tainly Look Marvelous, Find Yourself Glitzerland, From A to Z-urich, Diva of Geneva, Ski Teal We Drop, Color So Hot It Berns, William Tell Me About OPI, I’m Suzi & I’m a Chocoholic, The Color to Watch and Just a little Rosti at This. And here they are:

So if you’re feeling fearless, change up your mani with some pretty coloured polish.

Side note: These colours will leave you looking ridiculously cute. They may even act as a brilliant convo starter with that cute boy you’ve been eyeing off, too. Love.

    Love the dress and the ring more than the nails, I’m afraid.
