Other Hot, Heavenly Summer Tips

PRETTY IN PINK
There is no end in sight for light pink nails in the summer time, but you don’t have to go completely pale. A tad deeper pink is a gorgeous Revlon color called Cotton Candy ($5 in drugstores) for that I’m slightly colorful and fun, but still have classic tips.

BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO MATCH
In the summertime (and other times) toe and nail colors don’t have to be all matchy-matchy. For summer, try a new gold toenail polish, but with no sparkle and do a clear look on your fingernails.

YOU CAN ALSO TRY…
Hot pink polish, oranges and melons. Orly has beautiful colors called Lemonade and Gumdrop. (www.orly beauty.com)  Keep your nails short and well groomed. Keep nails pretty and white between polishes, with a lemon! Slice it in half and rub over your nails for 5 to 10 minutes. The citrus will get rid of old polish that’s lingering. Jagged cuticles? Take a slice of fresh pineapple and run it over your cuticles to get them in tip-top shape.

LEG WORK
Just in case you’re stuck in the office and don’t get out to the pool to get a little sun (10 minutes a day is a great way to get your Vitamin D, says top trainer JJ Virgin) then you can try a little faking it. Lancome’s Flash Bronzer for Legs is a wonderful self-tanner that avoids turning you orange, but gives you a nice natural glow. (Find it at most cosmetic counters).

SMOOTH GAMS
Buy a nice hydrating shaving cream. When you shave your legs in the shower you’ll benefit from the added moisture. And if you’re waxing your legs with a pro then pop an antihistamine an hour before your appointment to reduce the redness. Moisturize your legs daily to avoid that leathery look. A great leg product is Skintimate Skin Therapy Moisturizing Shave Gel for Dry Skin for $2.79 at drugstores. Also try L’Occitane Almond Tonic Body Oil for extra moisture for $38 at L’Occitane stores.

FOOTSY
To keep your feet supple and soft try Polly Foot Primer for $15 with it’s blister-away beeswax and calming grapeseed oil.

LIP SERVICE
Don’t forget that you need smooth, kissable lips that aren’t chapped from the heat. Try Eos lip balm in sweet mint (www.walgreens.com).
