If you’ve noticed a preponderance of emerald green gowns on red carpets at a television near you, you’ve just spotted a new trend. Emerald green nail polish? Yep. My salon offers it from several different nail polish manufacturers. Emerald green eye shadow? Oh yes. Worn judiciously, it’s flattering to most skin tones and eye colors. Emeralds? Seriously. Do you really need to ask?
Emerald green is Pantone’s Color of the Year. (There really is such a thing. The color for 2012 was Tangerine Tango. It seeped into our subconscious without our even realizing it and that is why tangerine-painted nails looked so right last spring. Do you remember? The way I do is that I had just gotten my nails done with a vivid tangerine orange polish and loved it so, I texted a photo of my latest manicure to my daughter who, coincidentally was having her nails done at the same time, but in another city. Give you one guess as to what color she chose.) Now it’s emerald green that’s going to be on our fingertips, eyelids, on hangers in our closets and on our feet.
Here, a few ways to capture the trend …
