Your Nails. Take the test….Are they updated?

Your nails “Tips” you won’t find in fashion magazines

I don’t know why, but fashion magazines don’t talk about how long or what color nails should be!

That being said, who needs an article when all you have to do is look at the celebrities being featured. For example, while your in line at the grocery store, check out Jennifer Lopez’s nails on the cover of the Feb. Bazaar magazine.

Here are a few more…

Nicole sporting some red polish

Can you see these, nice short red nails on Nicole Ritchie? That is “IN”, so go for it!

Charcoal and purple are bold options

Avril Lavigne and Mischa Barton know that rich dark colors are still “IN” and fun to try. Good news is that they are still age appropriate for us! If you don’t want to do your nails, try it on your toes!

TIP for those in the corporate world: This is a “fashion” look, so you might save this color for your off hours.

Here are some photos and common faux pas that we’ve been seeing out there in the real world.

Take our nail test to see if you are up to speed on the nail scene!

Here's a tip: take off the tips!

1. I love the convenience of tips. I go every two weeks and don’t have to think about my nails. In or Out?

Glam Gals say: OUT! Tips are NOT in style. If you must wear them, they should be short and painted a soft neutral color. If you have been wearing them for a long time, its perfect timing to give yourself a break and try having your own. You will save money and have new found freedom!

Naked natural nails

2. I have long natural nails and are proud of them. Are these, In or Out?

Glam Gals say: Out! Sorry, this is not a good look. Try shortening them up, especially if your not going to polish them.
Has it been a while since you when shade shopping?

3. I have this one favorite color that I have worn for years… I don’t care if it is In or Out, or should I?

Glam Gals say: This shiny pink says you are still back in the 80′s. Get OUT of the time warp and try something new! You just might like it!

Don't be a flake!

4. I can’t help it, I think this snowflake is fun! Is this IN or OUT?

Glam Gals say: If your over 40, this might say “sassy” but it does not say, “I’m classy.” OUT!

Oui oui, ma cheri!

5. How about this, short french manicure?

Glam Gals say: “IN!” ..Now this is what says, “I’m GLAM!”
