Thakoon S/S 2012
No, I haven’t gone totally crazy, telling you that you should dye your tresses pink. I totally would, if I was a tad bit younger (I don’t think it would match my wrinkles, um, fine lines so well). But this bubble gum magenta looked spectacular on Thakoon’s S/S runway. 
Thakoon x NARS ‘Ratin Jot’
Thankfully the designer incorporated the hue into his capsule collection for NARS, a series of five happy brights (six if you live in New York, as one is exclusive to the Bleecker Street store). I wore it last weekend and my nails got many “wows” everywhere I went — rightfully so. 
$21 at NARS, available May 1st. Check out the rest of the colours on my FB page.
