Trendy at the office?

Attention businesswomen: while I do like the Spring 2011 nail trends of ice-creamy aqua and vibrant turquoise, keep in mind these shades are not appropriate for certain workplaces. Unless you work in the fashion or other creative industry, this look is too trendy. Especially if your office dress code is professional, you should opt for a more subtle shade (and keep nails reasonably short), saving edgy colors for the weekend or vacation. Keep in mind these colors look best when perfect - so you should probably have applied by a manicurist unless you are particularly good at it. Because they are somewhat youthful shades anyway, a professional looking application will add a bit of sophistication.
