Best Nail Polish — Bright: “OPI Live.Love.Carnaval is a perfect coral — quieter than orange but livelier than pink — that looks insanely chic on hands and feet.”]

Best Nail Polish — Pastel: “Essie Lilacism is so milky, pretty, and demure, it elicited an ‘awww’ from one editor as she brushed it on. Bonus: It’s the rare pastel that doesn’t require three coats.”

Best Tweezers: “The Tweezerman Slant Tweezer has been grabbing our stubby strays — and this title — for years.” (Fourteen in a row, if you’re counting.)
