Next Year’s Hottest Nail Color

Dec 8, 2009 @ 3:55 pm

Set aside your jade polish, there’s a new green in town: Turquoise! This bold and mood-boosting shade was front and center on the spring runways like Rachel Roy (left) and Oscar de la Renta (right) and today, the hue authorities at Pantone announced it was 2010′s color of the year. We’re getting a jump on things by investing in some turquoise polish stat—like CND’s Anchor Blue ($9.00, in stores only). How will you embrace the new trend?

Don’t forget about our 20 Days of Free Nail Polish Twitter giveaway!

Their newly revealed Spring/Summer 2010 ad campaign features supermodel Lara Stone resting on a bed of ferns amid white doves. “After two seasons with such a huge star, Artistic Director Marc Jacobs decided to take a breather and work with a model—and not just any model. She clearly has a Brigitte Bardot look,” Vuitton’s Communication Director, Antoine Arnault, told WWD.
