Arrested for Wearing Orange Nail Polish!

Orange Nail PolishWednesday in Chelsea, Massachusetts, 53-year-old Margaret Christie was arrested for wearing orange nail polish! (And also robbing a bank.)

Christie walked into a Sovereign Bank in Chelsea at 9:45 am, and handed the teller a note, demanding money. She got $450 and took off -- but the teller had noticed her "bright burnt orange nail polish."

A nearby construction worker saw the nails driving a car, took down her license plate number, and she was apprehended! Because wearing orange nail polish is a crime. And so is robbing a bank.

Seriously, we don't recommend orange nail polish. It's unflattering on almost every skin tone. Blech. At least it will match her outfit in jail. How very Law & Order!

She could have gotten away for under $2 by stashing a bottle of Wet & Wild in her car. Now that's a lesson we can all take away with us.

Nailed It: Springs Hottest Tip Trends

    Been-there red? Played-out pink? We think not! The trendiest celebs are rocking daring hues on their digits – think inky black, sunny yellow, turquoise, and chocolate brown. "The right polish can be as transformative as a change in hair color or a new lipstick," says hair and makeup guru Robin Narvaez of Salon Eliut Rivera in New York City. But you can't be shy! These polishes are pure va-va-voom!

    These days, The City star Whitney Port has become a trend-setter extraordinaire, so be on the lookout for turquoise nails. Keep your other makeup light and neutral and make sure nails are super short and square – long, turquoise talons are a definite no-no.

    Shiny black polish has been around now for a few seasons, but the new twist is a girly/goth matte finish, which looks equally great on fingers and toes to toughen up a white or pastel Spring look.

    Yellow? Who would have thought it could look so fierce! It's not for the faint of heart, but if you're wearing a neutral tone from head to toe a shade this vibrant acts as its own accessory.

    Chocolate brown nails are the height of sophistication. A little less harsh than black, they still lend any outfit an slightly edgy air and work for any age group.
