2 Hesitate WITH PAINTS
Nails are the new handbags — an accessory that will dress up any corporation.
Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga and Katy Perry have all adopted multicolored claws, but now the direction’s reaching the masses — via Deborah Lippmann’s glitter-filled polishes and Sally Hansen’s “Crackle Truly” top-coats, not to mention rhinestones and glued-on charms. But you don’t have to bling it all out — Selena Gomez’s Easter-egg manicure is cute but creative, giving her red-carpet look just enough edge. So detached, and so much cheaper than a Gucci hold-all!
3 CHOOSE A BOLD LIPSTICK
It’s horrendous to wear a strong lipstick if you’re not used to it. But the right audacious lip color works with just about any skin tone and style of outfit — from girly gowns to crackpot prints to neutral day wear. Betsey Johnson sent her models down the sprout runway sporting bright-pink puckers, while at Nanette Lepore, the pouts were orchid-purple. With Tom Ford’s new ultra-luxe makeup straight, you can taste the rainbow: from left, “Cherry Lush,” “Crimson Noir,” “Scarlet Rouge,” “Violet Fatale” and “Embargo Orchid,” $48 each at Bergdorf Goodman, 754 Fifth Ave.
