It's hard to keep 10 nice long unsplit nails, all at the same time, isn't it? And who has time to keep up with acrylics? Those fussy days are but a memory. Lately, I keep my nails short and for special occasions I love a nice clean fresh looking French manicure (I am lucky when it lasts 3-4 days.)

I can't get used to a French pedicure. For some reason, it looks to me like my feet are 'wannabe' hands. I like them okay on other people, but not on me! Anyone else feel that way? I don't mind if the hands and feet don't match...I love to play with fun colors on my toes. The hot new colors for fall are dark, dark, dark. Do you all follow the season trends living in south Florida?

A friend, Noreen, had a bright frosted hot pink pedicure the other day. I have no shame, I HAD to know the color. Essie Jam N Jelly. She said she had to order it from her salon in NJ and have it mailed down, because she's new to the area, and her local salon didn't sell products.

I didn't waste one minute shopping for it, I jumped online and ordered a bottle for myself. Had it in 2 days, no gas or time wasted. Since then, I've heard the Essie brand is sold in lots of beauty supply stores locally, Angela's Beauty Stuff in the South Harbor Shops off 17th Street Causeway for one.
