"This is a difficult time of year for getting dressed. I&amp;#x27;m dying to bust out cute, flowery spring dresses, but here in the Northeast, it&amp;#x27;s still too chilly and blah to feel comfortable in them. That&amp;#x27;s why these photos inspired me--it&amp;#x27;s amazing how a bold mani can take a plain black dress from ho-hum to fun/perfect for late March/early April ...check it out.Over the past few weeks, lots of celebs have been brightening up their LBDs by adding stand-out, bold polish. First, here&amp;#x27;s Julia Roberts. Doesn&amp;#x27;t this shot remind you of the power of classic bright-red polish? I love trendier shades, but when it comes right down to it, it&amp;#x27;s hard to beat cherry red. Love that navy patent belt, too. Ginnifer Goodwin, on the other hand, went for white polish. Paired with her pink lips, rosy cheeks and silvery shadow, the nails really help her black dress feel springy--but subtly. This next one is great for less girly types: blue polish, a la Agyness Deyn. It&amp;#x27;s not the navy we&amp;#x27;re all getting a bit bored of--it&amp;#x27;s blue-blue. I don&amp;#x27;t think it would work on me, but I love it on her, and I think it&amp;#x27;s perfect for early April. Last but not least, check out Mary-Kate Olsen rocking matching red lips and nails. Another classic look you just can&amp;#x27;t go wrong with, especially when you&amp;#x27;re wearing a simple LBD. (Remember when you had me wear this look to my holiday parties?) Are you guys antsy to change up your look for spring? What&amp;#x27;s your go-to look right now? Which of the above nails would you be most likely to wear with your LBD: red, white or blue?
