It's kind of like snacking before dinner...check out some of the most entertaining posts from our Network before you finish up your work day (c'mon, we won't tell)...We're not skilled in the beauty area and thankfully All Laquered Up clued us in to an awesome Fall nail trend: the smoky hues. This look seems perfect for those of us who still can't fathom black nail polish...Pop goes under, and Chic and Untroubled says goodbye. We're pretty sure we should stop giving people our speech about how British magazines are still thriving. There are just, well, so many of them...Foot For Thought gave a shoutout to footwear designer Chie Mihara, and took pictures of her feet without getting busted by the store clerks...and finally, if you're just too tired to read anything, get wrapped up in a You Tube video to f&art's liking, namely, a techno-remix of Gareth Pugh's Spring 09 show. Happy Monday!

Agent Orange

We're currently enamored of orange nail polish, and so, it seems, is Agent 99. According to network partner Cuffington, in the recent remake of the 60's classic, Get Smart, our favorite gun-toting secret agent sports chic, tangerine nails. The look is just in time for a hot summer. We know it's bold, but this isn't the coral-orange favored by leathery, Palm Beach ladies. We were thinking more like the orange creamsicle that's dripping down your arm, or the mimosas you dream of sipping poolside as the weekend draws near. It's fresh, fun, and totally indulgent. Good thinking, 99.

We're fans of Essie's Mini Shorts, from the newly released Neon Collection, and OPI's Mod About Brights collection, which includes shades ranging from mango to sunset orange. We advise keeping nails short for this look. Long, bright orange talons only work if you're a comic book villainess.
