So Fresh & So Clean

Have you ever noticed how a certain behavioral habit or practice can become so overdone that just the mere thought of doing it one more time evokes feelings of nausea? Case in point the emergence of boyfriend jeans. The only way I can begin to fathom the popularity of these shapeless clunkers, more reminiscent of the baggy jean, derrier flaunting 90's highschool boys rather than the sexy Brooke Shields in her Calvin's, is that it is a countermovement and backlash to the played out skinny jeans.

On Monday as I went for my bi-weekly mani/pedi I found myself struggling to grab Springs requisite mushroom, chalky brown polish. My eyes were simply tired and bored of the overplayed color. I needed a fresh change which would nod to the blooming tulips, bright blue sky and warm breeze. I needed a pink but not just any pink...I needed "the one!" After surveying the nail polish bar I realized that I would have to create this unrealized color as my "it" shade didn't seem to exist! Instead I found pinks that were so muted they read neutral or fuschia's so intense it screamed Jersey Shore! Sonia (my go to nail tech) and I set to work to conceive the perfect pink shade. After countless mixing and matching we found it! A hybrid blend of baby pink and marshmallow this shade has the right sophisticated pop. So are you ready for this insider secret on how to create this lustful hue? Listen carefully and guard this secret! After the base coat apply OPI Bubble Bath followed by OPI's new Panda-Monium Pink then seal with a top coat. Et voila! You're starting a polish revolution...can you hear people throwing out their Chanel Particulière and OPI You Don't Know Jacques as they scramble to adorn their nails with this exclusive shade?

Usage tip: For a softer, more neutral hue reverse the order of the polishes to subdue the pink. Nail 101- always allow a minute of drying time between application of each coat to avoid the nasty bubbling effect.

The result: A fresh of breath air for your eyes and hands!
