THE MEAN REDS
A new nail trend that isn't new at all...
This week, Dior released a limited-edition nail trio of red lacquers. Sephora x OPI added their own cherry hue, and tje scarlet shades from Chanel, NARS, and Essie have all been spotted front-and-center at various manicure hot spots around New York City - an honor usually reserved for the runway-friendly black and gray shades.
Meanwhile, the red carpets have been seeing their fair share of the trend, too. Mary-Kate Olsen's been out and about with blood-colored talons, Jamie Chung sported her strawberry-colored manicure to the Hangover 2 premiere, Diane Kruger painted her toes red at a recent fashion party, and Rhianna picked the primary shade for performing on stage.
Last season, we were convinced a red nail was only really chic when seen on Mad Men. This season, we might actually go back to it instead of blue or green. But how will it work on the beach?

Me gusta. Haha I like the trend. Although it really isn't anything new. I think red is fierce and bold. In my opinion its good for whatever season.

Honestly, who doesn't look good in red? It's such an amazing, classic color! I recently purchased OPI's Vodka and Caviar and I absolutely love it!
Go Red or Go Home! ;)

Red is a great basic color but this summer I'll be wearing neons. I'll save the red for fall.

i've had tons of different shades: purple, blue, green, silver, golden, pink, nude, etc...but the ones i keep repurchasing are always red. I LOOOOOVE RED NAIL POLISH for every season. i bought my first bottle at 14 and i'll keep wearing it until i'm 90.

Sure, red is pretty and fierce, but it's not anything new. I think black nails or deep jewel tones on the beach would be much more stand out.

Red is so cute when your at the beach but a cheaper alternative would have to be Sally Hansen.
OR China Glaze they have such vibrant colors.
