Top 5 Pedicures Tips and Destinations
While a chipped manicure may hurt you in the boardroom, a bad pedicure, or lack thereof, is more likely to hinder you in the bedroom. After all, there's nothing sexy about funky feet, especially when cooler weather hits, skin dries up, and said feet start scratching the sheets as you slip between them. Here's our go-to guide for keeping toes oh-so-pretty no matter the season. At-home maintenance
Between spa pedicures, maintain pretty feet with exfoliation and hydration. Skip the scary at-home razors (the kind most salons aren't even supposed to be using) and opt instead for Microplane's Foot File; $14.95. This best-in-class implement banishes dead skin with aplomb, without risking serious injury at the hands of razor blades and too sharp edges. Read the article... |

 Blog: Colors and Cocktails
I love manicures. It's not the massaging - I've been known to skip that step to save time -or the moisturizing - I have plenty of hand cream at home- it's the allure of perfectly polished nails. Getting a manicure is an instant update and no matter what kind of day I'm having (from bad hair days to bad face days, oh my), a sparkling lacquer makes it all better. And what better to pair a fresh mani with than a chunky cocktail ring? The ring doesn't have to be "real" - most of mine aren't - but it does have to be big, bold and real-ly stunning. And, of course, it has to complement my polish of choice. If it doesn't, well then, a new manicure is on the horizon...
The $2,030 Manicure
The other day, a shimmering "Lincoln Park at Midnight" mani nearly cost me $2,030.
