How To Get Rihanna’s Green Nail Polish Look
I’ve been asked by many of our readers about how to get Rihanna’s green nail polish look at the 2008 MTV Movie Awards (shown in photo below).

Try Green-Wich Village (a vivid green that is downtown mod) from OPI 2008 Mod About Brights nail collection.

This season, OPI goes mod-ern with Mod About Brights, the newest selection of shades in the Brights by OPI line.
Mod About Brights captures the fun and edginess of the mod “invasion” of the Sixties, but with a bright twist that makes these colors exciting and current for 2008. And with fashion right now being all about strong color and vivid, graphic prints, these are the shades that look up-to-the-minute on fingertips and toes.

Beach Proof Mani/Pedi
On the hunt for the secret for making your manicure and pedicure last during the beach season? Neri Ortega, nail expert of Butterfly Studio Salon in New York City, recommends the following for a long lasting, perfect manicure without chipping:
1. Following a hand massage, it is vital to clean the nail bed twice with acetone free nail polish remover to make sure that there are no emollients left on the nail-a clean, oil free nail bed is the most important part of lasting manicure, as it creates a clean surface to begin on.
2. Continue with a protein based base coat-this is key in keeping polish from chipping. A strengthening treatment like OPI’s Nail Envy, works wonderfully to keep nails strong, and polish from chipping.

3. Following the application of polish, a good basic top coat is needed. Neri recommends Essie, and prefers classic top coats over ‘quick dry’ as she finds quick dry top coats tend to peel faster.
4. Pushing back cuticles rather than cutting them will also help a manicure last longer. To keep nail polish looking shiny and new, and cuticles from looking dull and ashy, she recommends a good cuticle moisturizer like Solar Oil (by Creative Nail Design)-the treatment will multi-task to keep your manicure going for extra days.

OPI Lincoln Park After Dark and Essie Wicked 249
It looks like the dark or almost black nail polish is in once again. Many celebrities have been seen sporting this look. Deep nail polish shades seem to go well with short and squared nails. It may be a bold look for you, but since so many cute girls display the new vamp trend then it feels almost OK to try it yourself. And for the British readers, we have a picture of the very famous glamour model actress and business woman, Abby Titmus. Abby is perfectly manicured in deep shade nail polish as feathered in her new 2007 Abby Titmus Calendar.
Talking Makeup picked two nail polish shades that will help you achieve this hot look. OPI created Lincoln Park After Dark NL W42 as part of their new Chicago Collection. OPI describes this color as: ” When midnight meets purple”. Cost: around $7.
Our second pick is Essie Wicked 249 which has a burgundy red undertones and less purple then OPI Lincoln Park After Dark NL W42. Cost: around $7.
