Mindy Ephron Says: After years of getting manicures I realized two things: 1) you NEVER need to be paying more than 10 bucks for a manicure, no matter what, and 2) you only ever need these five colors. Everyone looks good in these colors; blondes, Asians, Indians, black girls (I have a super diverse group of girlfriends) and I promise you will have a dope polish NO MATTER WHAT SEASON IT IS FOR THE REST OF TIME. For dark, plum vamp-y first date nails: Chanel "Madness"; For happy pure red (that isn't too tranny, as bright reds can be): OPI "I'm Not Realy a Waitress"; For rich, brown "I'm a sexy professional lady thank you very much" nails: Essie "Chocolate Brown Truffle"; For whimsical, flirty, summertime light blue toes: Hard Candy "Sky"; For "I will never get a regular manicure, I need something that won't show when it chips, I don't want to be adventurous, but I want to look presentable": Essie "Mademoiselle".
