Beauty Obsession Of The Moment

Stash away your pink and coral summer hues because, for nails, this fall is all about going vamp. My latest obsession: navy nails. They’re dark, sophisticated and not nearly as harsh as black.

Last week, I bought O.P.I.'s “Russian Navy,” expecting the color to be the shimmery purple shade of the bottle (I know, the name should have been a dead giveaway). At first, I didn’t know how I felt about my blue nails. It reminded me of 8th grade, when I swapped rainbow-colored nail polish with my best friends. But before long, it was love.

The color is perfect for going out at night, but versatile enough for school and work. Shades of gray go great with navy nails. Add a silver accessory or two and, voilà! Instant class.
