Watercolored nails
At least that’s what I think of when I saw Sabeen’s latest nail art 
. Reminds me of a watercolor painting:

Bad Idea: Having “F*** You” painted on your nails when you show up for your court date (a la Lindsay Lohan).

Nail polish peeler confessional: How I made my manicure last
By Archana Ram
With the sheer number of cheap nail salons in New York City, I wish I could say I get manicures all the time. It’s fun, looks polished (no pun intended) and can make accessories like rings and bracelets really pop. But I’ve been plagued with the totally non-medical syndrome of nailpolish peeling, meaning any time I get the least bit fidgety I peel. (Clearly, my nails are pretty fragile.) So my mid-year resolution was to stop the peeling insanity, and I figured the best way to do that was to get a nice manicure, which would, hopefully, make me realize what I’ve been missing out on.
Can’t decide which nail color to go with this 4th of July?
Not to worry. New York magazine’s current Shop-A-Matic gives you a selection of 110 different fun summer shades to choose from.
The round-up, guest edited by the nail guru behind All Lacquered Up, includes polishes starting from $1 up to $23. Take a look and let me know what you decide!

Zoya nail polish in Sabrina
I resisted the urge for once to go color happy on a recent visit to Elizabeth Arden’s Red Door Spa and stuck to a neutral white with very pale fleshy pink undertones that Zoya calls “Sabrina.”
As part of their Champagne & Rose Manicure, they’ll offer you a virgin cranberry drink while they treat your hands to an exfoliating scrub and warm paraffin treatment…that’s all right after they nestle a warm scented pillow around your neck and give you a back rub — all for only $42.

P.S. The nail tech, Eugenia, really took care of my cuticles unlike my recent visit to Bliss. I always get yelled at by manicurists about my cuticles. I need help.
