Smurfette-style nails

Why we like them: Petrina Goldman, another MAC public relations team member, is wearing our fave of-the-moment nail trend. It's a very unpredictable shade of blue that shockingly works with both casual and dressy attire. And it never ceases to garner a ton of compliments. Not daring enough to wear it on your nails, swipe it on toes.

Tip: Copy Goldman's look by trying OPI Nail Laquer in Just Groovy, $7.99.

Some of these are nice; some of these are just a little too out there for me.

I'm sorry but number 4 is a no no for me and number 8, only for a Halloween costume or a runway show, otherwise, it's another no no for me.

I really like it when TB does these "real women" articles. Please produce more of them. I would rather see women off the street than models.

Love wine colors

that cinnamon twisty bun is really unique!

I like the sleek bun. It looks so clean and put together.

i love the nail colors. I mean I have blue pink and purple tribal print on my nails right now, but I would actually consider a solid color in one of the beautiful shades shown above

I love the twisted bun! Definitely going to try it!

what gorgeous looks

by LittleBunny Sunday, August 14, 2011 at 01:46PM Report as inappropriate

Wow, some of those were good. The RED lips made them look really small.

by MissPurple Tuesday, August 2, 2011 at 03:33PM Report as inappropriate

I agree. The orange eye liner was a little weird. But I loved the twisted bun look I will try it myself.

by modinosaur Monday, May 23, 2011 at 08:37PM Report as inappropriate

I like a lot of the looks, but not the orange eyeliner! Is she wearing it on only one eye?? Also Anna's gold insect earrings are cool and creepy at the same time!

WOW. pretty!

Love the cinnamon twist braid and the twist bun.

I'm liking the wine colored nails and green/blue shadow!!!

by Bon_Bon Monday, February 21, 2011 at 03:54PM Report as inappropriate

I love the fishtail braid & twisted bun. Definitely going to try these out!

This one would be good on you Barb

real women are always the most inspirational!

I love the blue nail colors, but why didn't you tell us the brand & name of this color instead of a dupe for it?

by Alltrouble2 Friday, September 24, 2010 at 03:13AM Report as inappropriate

Very few people can pull off this look & she is not one of them. Ballerina's are the only one's that should be allowed to wear these ugly bun's....LOL.

by Alltrouble2 Friday, September 24, 2010 at 03:03AM Report as inappropriate

Like this color for fall. It almost look's brown in the pic though.

by Alltrouble2 Friday, September 24, 2010 at 02:56AM Report as inappropriate

The braid look's nice but the top of her hair look's lumpy on top & flat on the side. Maybe it's this pic?? IDK.
