When I was a teenager and first started getting my nails done, I was obsessed with french manicures. Mainly because I liked the way it looked on the long, fake tips that I also thought looked tres chic (What can I say? It was NJ in the 90's. I should just be glad I never wore Z. Cavariccis). The problem with french manicures is that if your nails aren't all the exact same length, they can look kind of uneven, so once I went away to college and had to rely on my own nails, I gave them up, never to see white tips on my fingers again. But when I was browsing in Sephora this past weekend, I saw the cutest little french manicure set by Bourjois and it made me remember what I loved about the look - it's clean, classic and easy to maintain, especially if you own a set like this that comes complete with its own white polish. Of course, even with the genius idea of a curved brush that makes putting on the white polish easier, I still managed to make it look like a kindergartner did my nails for me. (Seriously, what's up with that? I've accomplished all sorts of things in my life, but painting my nails so they look nice has never been one of them). But now that I'm in the french manicure mindset, I'm definitely throwing these Boujois polishes in my bag so my manicurist can fix it later this week. You know, just in case I meet a handsome stranger and he asks me to go to Paris and explore The City of Lights with him. What? It could happen...
