In the months leading up to my wedding, I really wanted to have a pedicure be my
traditional "something blue," and was searching high and low for a tasteful blue nail polish (which is, not surprisingly, a very difficult thing to find.) I wasn't able to find anything remotely acceptable, so my mom and sister ended up putting a blue ribbon in my homemade flower bouquet and calling it a day.
But now, just about 6 months after my nuptials, pretty blue nail polishes are en vogue and everywhere! Current brides-to-be should definitely take note:
Essie Summer 2010 resort collection,
"Lapis of Luxury" (
here is the cheapest place I've found it)
Essie "St. Barth's Blue" (also can be found
here)
