The real French manicure: OPI's Vodka and Caviar

partner

My gorgeous, chic friend Laney just got back from Paris. She partied with artists, met with a "shockingly accurate" spiritual psychic, and spent hours strolling through upper Marais, "just to be with the people." She spoke only French. And everyone assumed she was, in fact, French. The reason for her authenticity, she says, was neither her Chloé boots nor her vintage capelet ... it was her manicure. "If my nails had been any longer or any other color, it would have given me away instantly!" she explained.

Her look: short, round nails in classic red. "But the red has to work with your skin tone," Laney warns. For her (dark hair, convincing faux tan), it's OPI's Vodka and Caviar. "I'm bringing it with me to the nail salon from now on. Just in case they run out."
