Well, now that you’ve seen the photographic evidence. It’s time to think about how to incorporate this glam style into your spring wardrobe. Here are a few wonderful, not so designer…

  • Perfectly Polished

    At the risk of sounding like an Essie sales rep, I’ve fallen for one of their colors again. Ole Caliente is part of their new spring collection. A beautiful orange-red, this bright color works well on short nails or toes. It’s a perfect reminder that summer is just around the corner.
