GIRL WITH THE PEARL NAILS

Maximalist nails are the trend of the moment, and for this look, the sky’s definitely the limit. These heavily-adorned tips showcase pearl- and-seashell-inspired 3-D embossed designs that are literally art you can wear on your fingertips

Cocktail of choice: A staple RRR (Run Rabbit Run) cocktail, Chillin’ Like A Villain is a bourbon-based drink that starts smooth and eases you in until you realize how pleasurably hard it hits. It is one of RRR’s most ordered cocktails since the bar’s opening in 2018

GOTH CHIC

Blame it on the “Wednesday Addams effect”—a black mani is back but with a slight twist. Rhinestones add a touch of luxe and give this vampy aesthetic a fresh-faced update for spring

Cocktail of choice: RRR’s The Aviation—simple and straightforward, this one’s a visual pleaser and a treat that just gets it. No layovers, just a direct flight to your destination of choice

COLOR WHEEL

The French manicure has been around since 1975, thanks to President and CEO of Orly International Jeff Pink, who, at the time, was an American beauty supplier working in Hollywood. It has undergone a variety of changes, but one version we’re absolutely obsessed with is the coffin-shaped multi-pastel colored one, which is fun, playful, and will surely get any conversation started.

Cocktail of choice: Made with dark and gold rum, pineapple, orange, lemon, and activated charcoal syrup, RRR’s Swizzle In, Swagger Out is the perfect drink if you’re craving something tropical-inspired and ultra-refreshing.
