I'm disappointed by all the neutrals. I'd love to see more pops of color--even a bright red would have been a nice change! I look at my nails as another way to add character and fun to my outfit, but I could understand the rationale of letting the thousands of dollars' worth of jewels and couture dresses do the talking.

Do you play it safe with your nails on a big night out or do you amp up the color even more?

    1. I thought the mani cam was a fun idea. But yeah, too bad there weren't any really fun, colorful manicures to show off on the cam!

  4. I agree with you. I was so surprised that it was nudes and pales. I expected some fantastic colors and nail art after what we saw at the SAGs.

    1. I know, it was really surprising! Especially since polish and nail art are becoming a greater part of red carpet coverage (as evidenced by things like the "mani cam"), you'd think that would give celebs license to have a little fun with their nails.
