Polished to Perfection

Design inspiration can come from literally anywhere … a leaf on a tree, a glass of Chablis, your best friend’s sundress. This time of year when I am wearing my favorite open-toed shoes, it’s my nail polish that gives me ideas for my next interior project.
The look of this natural turquoise stone chandelier by Marjorie Skouras comes straight out of a bottle of Essie’s Turquoise and Caicos. If you want to take this hot shade to your walls, try Benjamin Moore’s Poolside Blue. It’s bright, bold and right on trend.

Lilacism polish from Essie is the inspiration for the hue. To create this look that is floral and fresh, try Sherwin William’s Enchant.

This great wallcovering is Monaco Damask by F. Schumacher. To bring this look to your personal style try Essie’s Marshmallow on your fingers and their Licorice on your toes.
