Once you have your toes decked out in style, put on a pair of gorgeous sandals and take your fabulous feet around town!

Turquoise, bright blues, baby blues, pink and orange corals are making a huge splash in 2010 and you can use them to transform your toes into accessories that speak for themselves. Here’s a tip: make these bright colours pop against your skin tone by applying one coat of white opaque nail polish first. Looking for a special shade? Chanel’s Le Vernis Nail Lacquer offers an irresistible aqua-blue that instantly brings you the delights of the tropical seas.
