Small Changes for the Summer

Glamour magazine suggests 75 little summer beauty changes for its readers. For nails, try a statement manicure: Thank God It's Summer hand-lettered nails, a simple form of nail art.

To get the look at home, the magazine says to apply pastel polish, then have a friend do the letters in a contrasting shade using an eyeliner brush. In the salon, techs can suggest it to clients who want bold summer nails, and emphasize that nail techs have steadier hands and professional equipment.

Suggested colors are Essie Nail Polish in Barbados Blue and Bachalorette Bash.
