Ideal Bite

You’ve seen it before: The girl who just paid 80 bucks for lavender, crystal-embossed press-ons asks her boyfriend to open a Coke can for her; or the receptionist who spent two hours getting air-brushed Frenchies is now, despite advanced feats in contortionism, eeking out five words a minute. Then, of course, there are the World’s Longest Fingernail contestants (check out the current record holder here, and prepare not to sleep tonight). Why? 
But nail care isn’t always strictly impractical – esp. when you know you’re not painting on freaky hormone-altering chems. Besides, there’s something undeniably sexy and sophisticated about that impossible woman with red-red lips and perfectly manicured nails demurely sipping an espresso at an Italian coffee bar. Bring on Honeybee’s Moulin Rouge! Hurray for feeling pretty…and still hitting the 65 wpm mark.
