ORLY Celebrates 50 Years of the French Manicure
The anniversary campaign includes a proposed French Manicure Day and submission of the original French Manicure Kit for consideration by the Smithsonian's Personal Care and Cosmetics Collection.


The popular triangular manicure by celebrity manicurist Tracylee, found in Cosmopolitan's March 2013 issue, is a must-have for spring. Here's how it's done:
1. First file nails in an almond shape (a rounded point), then clean them with remover and apply a clear base coat.
2. Apply base color. Paint in a stroke down the center, then another along each side for event distribution. Let dry for 10 minutes.
3. From that dot, make a diagonal line down to the corner of the cuticle, then the other, creating a triangle.
4. About one-third of the way up from the cuticle, make a dot in the center of the nail with a fine-tipped polish pen.
5. Fill in the triangle with the pen. Repeat on all fingers. Finish with a clear top coat to blend textures and add shine.
Recommended shades: Essie's Clambake paired with a fierce neon yellow.
