Parlez-Vous OPI?

The new Frech Collection by OPI is very sexy. The colors are subdued but graceful. The collection captures the je ne sais quoi of French women. For effortless style try 'Tickle my Francy." This color is a luxe lavender that is neutral enough to match every color in your wardrobe. If you love black nail polish but would like an update try "You don't know Jaaques!". It is a pewter that looks ridiculously luxurious yet edgy on short nails. For a holiday party I suggest "We'll always have Paris." Which is a beautiful dark plum which is definitely on trend with the season. Click Here To Find A Retailer.

RED, The It Color of Fall 2008

"RED IS THE BASIS FOR MAKE-UP, IT IS THE LIPS, THE NAILS. RED IS A NOBEL COLOR, A COLOR OF PRECIOUS STONES- THE RUBY- AND IT IS A DANGEROUS COLOR; SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO PLAY WITH DANGER. RED IS RELIGIOUS, AND IT IS BLOOD, AND IT IS ROYAL, IT IS PHEDRA, AND A MULTITUDE OF HEROINES. RED LIGHT AND RED COMBAT, RED IS COMBAT BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH." -YSL
This little bootie, the Serena by Jeffery Campbell, is a perfect accent to the rich dark colors of the season. Pair them with a little black dress and opaque black tights.
Red nails are classic and forever chic. I fell in love with Essie's Fall 2008 collection which features shades of deep merlot, rich reds and luxe berries. If you're only going to get one, make sure it's "Forever Young" a bright rich red which you'll wear on your nails this season and your toes during Spring 09.
A red lip can be a very dangerous thing. It's seductive, sexy and sophisticated all at the same time. I create my red lip using Vincent Longo lip vinyl in Fellini Red. It's shiny so the red lip looks modern and hip.
