NAILS IN THE NEWS
Anent the much-mooted subject of nails —should they, or should they not, be painted — a recent census taken by one of our foremost stylists in Paris shows that sophisticated women are wearing them coloured. Brilliant finger tips are good substitutes for jewels, ana those who are not fortunate enough to possess precious stones must rely on brilliant nails for accent. Even more vital is the fact that vivid nails make the hands by contrast look white and younger. While there has been some talk about pale-coloured nails replacing the brilliant ones, there is no foundation in Paris, at least, for any such deduction. In the smartest restaurants and other gathering places the increase in the use of vivid enamels is very mark. The tendency is away from deep, heavy shades with mauve or bluish cast, toward bright pure reds, or reds with a yellow base.
