Color of the Week: Geranium

Spring has been a bit begrudging this year- like the cool girl being dragged to the prom. I'm sure once she gets here, she'll be glad she came, but until then, we are left grasping for the tiniest glimpse; a blooming flower, a breath of warm wind, a moment of blue sky.

One way to combat the gloomy April blues is with this most perfectly cheerful of reds: Geranium by Essie. Red was all the rage for fall in Paris, but who really cares? Red is always great, especially on fingers and toes. And Geranium's flat, honest, slightly orange version is charmingly straightforward. It's red! I wore it two weeks ago, when a chill wind whistled down Broadway, but every time I saw my nails, I felt Springy.
