Ride the wave!

This summer, it's all about shades of blue. From light blue to dark blue, there is a color that will work for you. Here's a quick snapshot of the July issue of Glamour to help you get the picture:

The colors are gorgeous and make me want to dive into nearest ocean or pool! A good way to ease into the blue trend is to start using it on your nails or eyes. I have tried the lighter Sally Hansen polish featured in the article, and I am a big fan. The color is called Barracuda, and it's a member of the Complete Salon Manicure line. You can find it at Walmart, Ulta or drugstore, and it retails for around $8.50.
Cargo Swimmables Eye Liners
A fun way to play up the trend is through a pop of blue eyeliner. You can go the turquoise or darker blue route. I found a fabulous pack of four eyeliners by Cargo that I am in love with. There is a purple, turquoise, gold and blue color to play around with. Urban Decay also has a great eyeliners: 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils.

I know that some of these colors can be intimidating, but you can go subtle. One way I wear mine is to put black liner on first, then put the color liner on top of that. The black color helps to tone done things. Also, you can line the top of the eye with color liner not the bottom.

Happy surfing!
