Oh Mani/Pedi I Love You

Hey -- have you guys gone to get your nails done recently? Matt took nap duty and I was able to go to favorite nail salon in Brookline yesterday. It made me want to create a virtual - we all go to get our nalons done experience.

So. . . . The Colors

I think I discovered by new favorite OPI color - Tickle My France-y. The name is so stupid I almost couldn't get it, but the color is great. It's probably been around forever and I'm behind the times, so maybe you all have been wearing it forever. It's neutral but in an edgy way. Who knew?

This is it:
Cute, right? It seems more of a risk in the bottle than it does actually on your fingers. You could wear it to a wedding or going out. And I don't think chips will be that noticeable. You should try it.

I did my toes with an Essie color -- Chinchilly. In my opinion, a very cute name. Basically it's just a medium grey. I like but I don't think I love it. It's cool, but maybe I was looking for cooler?

I don't know. I will keep you posted.





A Nail Polish Aside
I was telling Matt about the dumb nail polish name and then we started making up names (ours we not very good - Violet Femmes, Ring Around the Rose-y) and then I thought it would be funny to post a bunch of really bad, real nail polish names. Of course, there is already a blog for that. Stupid Nail Polish Names. One of the funniest ones I saw was OPI: Friar Friar Pants on Fire. Ha!

MOVING ON!

The Tabloid

I chose to peruse the March 8 issue of Star Magazine. Here are the only things I can remember from the issue:
1. Brangelina are making up by taking the family to Venice, rekindling a relationship with Jon Voight, and living in a ridiculous mansion. The article mentions how they went to Angelina's favorite gelateria and Brad bought her a lemon ice and got one of the kids "caramello" - but all of the kids are clearly enjoying gelato in the photo. What gives with only disclosing one flavor? And the source was the owner of said gelateria. I think she is pushing that caramello flavor.

2. Two Real Housewives are in the news - one I knew about and one I was shocked about. We all know that Orange County Vicki went to Mexico and made out with some 25 year old guy who must think he just won the lottery. But did you know that Top Chef Sam is now with NYC Kelly?! He got married not too long ago, but is apparently separated from that wife and now is hooking up with a Housewife! It sounds like a bad Bravo cross-promotion. Click here to see it in print! NYPost

3. Giada is now making spaghetti sauce for Target. I will buy it because I love her.

4. There is a photo of Jessica Simpson wearing a creepy facial mask from La Mer to promote her new TV show - The Price of Beauty. I can watch alot of crap, but I think I will pass on this show.

The Price
$30. Pretty average I think.

In conclusion - if we can't all get our nails done together we can at least let each other know what happens when we go separately.
