Just say “no”
In addition to the Blackberry, Paris Hilton and Crocs, one of the modern marvels of the 21st century that continues to befuddle me is nail art. You know, delicately painted shapes – usually floral or holiday-related – that are offered towards the tail end of a pedicure. Often, nail art is further emphasized by the use of rhinestones (some nail technicians refer to these rhinestones as “diamonds” - I hope Sole Envie faithfuls know better than to believe it) and an iridescent top coat.
Perhaps it’s the overwhelming blast of formaldehyde, or perhaps it’s the insistence of many nail technicians who encourage salon goers to add a tacky rose or two to their big toes for the bargain price of $10, but women – adult, grown up women – continue to add insult to their feet by allowing this form of style torture to continue. Look around you, readers: nail art is everywhere. It peeks out from a pair of Havaiana flip flops on the 5:30 P.M. rush hour subway; it rears its ugly head(s) through a pair of strappy metallic sandals at a black tie function. It’s at the beach, the supermarket and Little League practice pickup. It’s inescapable and impervious to women of all ages. Or is it?
Ladies, nothing ruins a good pair of sandals like feet that have more bling than Beyonce’s jewelry box. Keep rhinestones on your wrist, flowers in your vases and class in your strut. Just say “no” to nail art!
