Cool Nail Colors for the Holiday Season

Even if the rest of you is bundled up, you can still flaunt the season's biggest accessory--bold, head-turning nail colors. Here are some of the best gift sets and colors available for the 2013 holiday season.



LVX 2013 Holiday Collection is a trio of luxe, vegan nail lacquer. As a brand, LVX is inspired by runway fashion trends and blends the hottest colors of the season into its unique color collections. The formula is non-toxic, long-lasting, chip-resistant and streak free. LVX lacquers are super shiny and heavily pigmented.  To stay on trend, the brand creates four custom palettes a year. The holiday trio is $36 and available at shoplvx.com. Through Dec. 31, 20 percent of proceeds will be donated to PETA.




Mariah Carey Holiday is a collaboration with OPI of 18 limited edition holiday nail lacquers inspired by the international superstar. The seasonal promotion includes an assortment of red, burgundy, maroon and chocolate brown hues, along with glittery gold, bronze and pearl shades. The collection also features six new Liquid Sand lacquers that should always be worn without a top coat, ranging from icy blue to frosted pink to sparkling graphite. Each of the lacquer shades has a kitschy name like "Meet Me at Midnight," and showcases OPI's groundbreaking technology for a textured, matte finish infused with reflective sparkle. Each polish is $9.00, and available at Ulta and Amazon.com.



Nicole by OPI offers two new gift sets inspired by actress and singer Selena Gomez--perfect for the tween on your Christmas shopping list. Each gift set includes a Selena Gomez lacquer plus a free mini bottle of silver Gumdrops, a limited edition matte textured shade only available in these sets. Gift set number one includes Pretty in Plum (a picture-perfect purple) and the second gift set includes Scarlett (a shimmery red-violet). These limited-edition sets are just $7.99 each and available at CVS, Kmart and Duane Reade locations.

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Comes to Brooklyn, June 5-8

Attending a performance of the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is always a highlight of my arts and culture calendar. An engagement with this awe-inspiring and genre-bending dance company is even better when they perform close to home at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.                                                                                                                                         Photo: Danica Paulos Ailey’s long-standing relationship with BAM began in 1969 when the trailblazing choreographer established The Ailey School in Brooklyn and presented his company’s...

Memorial Day Summer Swimsuits in the Amazon.com Swim Shop!

Memorial Day weekend is right around the corner.   Do you have your new summer swimsuit yet?  If not, Everything She Wants recommends checking out Amazon.com's  Amazon Swim Shop . Me at the Amazon Swim Shop preview. The online shop is stocked year-round with trendy and timeless swimsuit styles, cover ups and swim accessories from your favorite brands. While I'm usually partial to the figure-flattering tankini, at a press preview for the Amazon Swim Shop, I noticed that the often unforgiving one-piece suit has made a compelling comeback. Thanks to a generous gift card from Amazon I took a chance and ordered a Calvin Klein one-piece in a pretty nude/coral "Sand" color, along with several bohemian tunics. Now here's your turn.    One lucky reader will receive a promo code for $100 to spend at the Amazon Swim Shop (qualifying items must be sold and shipped directly by Amazon and not a third-party seller). Here's how you can win ( you must comp...
