How long it's been! But I haven't returned without good news on the beauty and fashion circuit...

For all the nail polish obsessed, you stay one step ahead of the rest when it comes to hues. Although it's too cold to imagine it being spring time, translucent and glass-like nails are on the horizon for the warmer months ahead. How much simpler could a style be: slick on clear nail polish onto clean manicured nails and voila...Lucite nails! Try Nars nail polish in "Wet" or "Edelweiss" for a hint of white.

For my vixens who still favor the darker colors, navy is holding her front row seat in the show. Try it in metallic hues for a new kick! Chanel has formulated just that with "Blue Satin." Once they pull a color out of the hat box, it's not long before everyone catches on. Be the first!
