With this trend, comes important decisions at the nail salon, particularly if it's a Sunday and your looking at a busy workweek ahead. Ludlow herself has kept a manicurist waiting for what feels like an eternity while she tries to make a decision on what color she lives with for the next 5 days or so.
Here are some rules and suggestions we hope are helpful:
Here are some rules and suggestions we hope are helpful:
- This spring, we see brands like Essie and OPI featuring pretty yellows and greens. Of course, the blues are also hot. Unfortunately ladies, if you are in a professional environment, these colors should really be for toes only.
- Neutrals are the safest way to go. Clean and pretty without being a distraction. Our favorites are:
- Essie's south of the hi'way
- Lex likes to layer her neutrals. One of her favorite combinations is limo-scene with mademoiselle.
- Reds, browns and plums (except lilacs) are all classics. Make sure your nails are on the shorter side when wearing them to work. Both Ludlow and Lex LOVE Essie's wicked. Tip: 3 coats are best with this color.
- On the trendy end, our favorites are differentiated colors that are still low key such as Essie's mink muffs, sew psyched or chinchilly, shown on Ludlow below.
- To make sure your manicure lasts the longest it can, pay the extra $1 and ask for a quick dry top coat. Also, we like to get a 10 minute massage after the manicure, purely to distract us of course, and to ensure our nails are dry before leaving the salon.
- To keep nails healthy, we use NailTek in between manicures. It's less expensive than Nailtiques and does a better job (in our opinion).
Finally, if you can't tell after reading this, our favorite nail polish brand is Essie : )
