Best of Beauty: Nails
Nail polishes may have their playful names, but finding one that won’t crack under pressure is no joke. These durable ones deserve some serious accolades.
Basecoat
Essie Ridge Filling Base Coat smooths away bumps, so even polish applied in a taxi goes on without a hitch (trust us, we’ve tried it).
Topcoat
Plenty of quick-dry topcoats are also quick to chip. But one thin layer of Seche Vite Dry Fast produces bone-dry nails in 30 seconds—and smudge-free polish for a week.

Nail Polish
Pale Pink.
OPI Nail Lacquer in Bubble Bath - because pale pink doesn’t look any cleaner (or creamier, or shinier) than this.
Nude.
“Nude” should imply a lack of clothing-not color. Essie Nail Polish in Naked Truth coats nails with a hint of peach.
Red.
OPI Nail Lacquer in Big Apple Red is a fire-engine red with all the bells and whistles: flattering orange undertones, a dazzling shine, and a mirror-like finish.

Gunmetal Gray Nails
Gunmetal Gray Nails
At an appearance in Culver City, California, Kim Kardashian was biker chic in a cropped jacket and steely metallic nails. The darker color is the perfect winter update for those of you who rocked clay or dove hues all summer. To replicate this shade, opt for one with a subtle metallic finish instead of a mirror-like reflection. The brushed metal vibe is part of the charm.
