DESIGN INSPIRATION AT THE NAIL SALON

Happy Memorial Day Weekend to you all. Though I would love to be at a beautiful beach resort, I have to wait just one more month!  To tide me over for a while, I will settle for a mani/pedi in Essie’s Resort Collection. With names like LAPIS OF LUXURY, PLAYA DEL PLATINUM, AND TURQUOISE AND CAICOS, I’m ready to pack my suitcase!!

For those like me who cannot escape to paradise, find decor inspiration in The Resort Collection’s color palette.  This palette is the perfect jumping off point for a tranquil bedroom like the one below designed by Patricia Gray.

Need more proof that inspiration can be found at your nail salon? Consider Essie’s The Wedding Collection…

…then take tour of Jill Stuart’s apartment featured on Elle Decor.

Need a break from decor? Schedule a pamper session with the ladies using Essie’s The Summer Collection…

…take a hint from the color names like HAUTE AS HELLO, KNOCKOUT POUT, and VERMILLIONAIRE and head to the movies to see Sex and the City 2.

What are your plans for the Memorial Day weekend? Whatever you do have a safe, enjoyable weekend and please thank our men and women in the armed forces for their contributions in keeping our country a safe one!

    Miss Matched is my favorite Essie color. It's so true that inspiration can be found anywhere. It's everywhere we look. You have a great holiday weekend. I'll be working.
