THE ZOE REPORT: Ask Rachel – Right Now Nails

by Rachel Zoe | 5:10 pm, August 5th, 2010

Hi Rachel,

With summer still lingering and fall just around the corner, I am in desperate need of some new, of-the-moment nail polish colors for my late summer manicures and pedicures. What are your recent faves? Please help!

Lindsay,

I am happy to report that all summer long, I have kept my fingers and toes colorful with Sheswai’s So Cute. It is a cool coral lacquer that is soft and summery…and it seems to accent every outfit beautifully! My gameplan is to showcase this August-appropriate, bright hue for a few more weeks and then transition into fall with a classic neutral. How good is butter LONDON’s newest nude, All Hail McQueen? As a tribute to the design genius, it is an alluring and versatile shade that should be flaunted often.

If you find yourself too excited for fall shades to wait, start incorporating warmer tones into your nail salon routine now. Chanel’s latest polish, Paradoxal (a flawless grey violet) and Zoya’s Carrie Ann (a sparkling scarlet red) are both sure to be the next it-shades…so get yours ASAP!

Ginger + Liz’s Got My Groove Back—a metallic gold tone—is OOC…rock glam at its finest. I like to paint this on before a big night out. I mean, it is just too good not to. Plus, bonus points to this eco-friendly beauty brand for creating polishes that are all organic, vegan-friendly and toxin-free. Last, but certainly not least, I cannot forget about Deborah Lippmann’s fabulous collection. Her most recent addition, Bring On The Bling—yes, it contains real diamond powder!— will mah-jorly enhance your summer glow…and work as an unexpectedly chic addition to your fall attire!
