Pretty In Pink

Nail Colour in May by Chanel, $26
Available from Nordstrom

After a very looong week, I was both surprised and relieved when I found myself with an hour to spare on Friday.  I did what any other floundering fashionista might do and scurried off to the nail salon for a long overdue mani/pedi.  As luck would have it, the bottle of Chanel nail color that I purchased on impulse a few weeks ago was still tucked away in my purse; who knew that being such a disorganized mess would actually work to my advantage?!  How nice to end the week right, pretty in pink.

As part of this year's Chanel spring/summer collection, May is my perfect pink.  Finally!  It's the pink I have been searching for forever, soft and feminine but still punchy and fun.  British Vogue calls May a "pretty shell pink,"  though it reminds me more of cotton candy than anything else.  Either way, May has a girly sweetness to it, and I love the way it looks on my hands and toes.  This pink has turned my week around (though the complimentary neck/shoulder massage at my nail salon certainly helped).  Yay for May!
