Nail It ~ Fall 2009
Intensely deep colors and dark bronze metallics are all over the runways on nails at Christian Dior, Luca Luca and DKNY. Well-manicured is a must with these vampy shades. With deeper shades of polish, I prefer shorter nails—they pack more of a punch.
1) Let the steam from a warm shower soften your cuticles.
2) After the shower, push cuticles back with an orangewood or metal stick. (Please don’t cut the cuticles, they can grow back unevenly.)
3) Massage a cuticle oil or balm (Revolution Organics All-Over Body Balm) around (and on top of) the nails. Let it absorb for a few minutes.
4) Apply Priti Nail Polish (in Wishbone Flower) in vertical strokes from the center of the nail out to the sides. Make sure to stay on the nail, and don’t let the polish bleed into the cuticle bed.
CC Tip: Wipe the nail-polish brush on the side of the bottle to remove excess polish before you apply. It’s less wasteful, and you won’t end up with pools of color by the sides of your nails.
