This is a shade a lot of people are talking about this month—but I am almost feeling like it’s more of a March color than one for February, but whatever why not start now!!! However, despite its un-Valentine-liness, i.e. it's not red.
All hail: Smoky beige as this month’s It nail-polish color. As many of you will recall, this is the same striking claylike neutral that Sandra Bullock wore while gripping her Golden Globe award a couple of weeks ago. (While this rumor was never confirmed to us by Chanel, if we had to guess, we’d say Bullock was wearing Chanel Particuliere.) I like it because it’s neutral and versatile yet also unexpected and eye-catching. No, it won’t brighten up a wintery day like a bright red will, but it’s pleasantly lower-maintenance and a bit warm and soothing. And one could argue that it will make you tres mysterious on a V-Day date—more so than a sweet pink or saucy red might.
