Hands On
Peter Lindbergh took this picture of French singer Mylène Farmer’s hands in 1999 and I’ve always loved it’s realness. I’m not a polish fan — my nails grow so quickly the upkeep is constant. But it doesn’t bother me in this photograph. I’m craving a winter tweak and a dark nail color could be good.

There’s something very poignant about the photograph, and the regrowth of her nails is part of it. Not sure about real life though.
Wait – are these YOUR hands?
No, sadly
Ahhh – that makes sense. I was thinking what a cool portrait to have!
Dark polish only looks good on me for a week…if I don’t chip it. That’s why I have been staying with Dior Nail Glow.
I just made that change from natural color/French manicure to a deep burgundy, and I really am enjoying the difference. Using gel polish makes the chip problem a non-issue!
