Samantha: One of the best ways to show a little more personality in the summer is through nail polish. With bare arms and sandals, toes and fingers get to be in the center stage of a look. I love to be a little more daring with my toenail colors in the summer. I usually stay more conservative with my fingernails, but I’ll do a midnight blue or hot glossy red for my toes. I’m pretty sure me and American Idol’s Adam Lambert rock the same colors! How about you? Diana: I think that I have gone completely over the line of daring. I have been painting my fingers and toes blue, green, and most of all yellow since May! I have been risking it a bit at work so I found some other alternatives to wear the same color without being so bold! Samantha: What alternative is there to yellow? Light yellow? Diana: Well actually, instead of painting my whole finger, I paint the tips, so it’s like a french manicure, but not white. Samantha: Can you use the old "oh, I was just coloring my nails with a highlighter" excuse to anyone that gives your nails the stink-eye at work? Diana: No way. They should try a bold color too, they may like it! Samantha: The French tip with different colors is pretty popular now, don't you think? A friend of mine who works in a pretty conservative financial setting tips her nails regularly in a metallic red. If she can get away with that in her setting, then I think anyone could get away with it. I like French manicures, but I won't get them done in the summer anymore. Sunscreen is the enemy of white tips! It stained my white tips yellow sometimes. Diana: That’s why you use a color that is different from white if you decide to experiment. If not, bold toes will do the trick. Darks or bights, the toes are the way to experiment a fun new color. Samantha: I slather both my kids in sunscreen on a daily basis in the summer, so I'll give up the french mani for the health of my children's skin. I hope they appreciate the fashion sacrifice I'm making! Now I've almost flipped my nail polish habits, so now I do white French manis in the cool months and I'm sporting dark browns and dark cherry this summer! I might look a little Goth in the office, but I'm willing to go with it. Diana: Well, I don’t think that anyone at last weekend's 2009 MTV Movie Awards made any fashion sacrifices. Let’s talk about some of the do’s and don’ts. Samantha: Do they have rules? I think the rule is wear whatever will get you talked about! I think the worst thing you can do - the number one "don't" - is take the award ceremony aspect of the evening too seriously and dress in a gown like it's the Emmys or Golden Globes. What do you think? Diana: Yes, you are absolutely correct. However, I still think that there are a few honorable mentions that we should make. Sienna Miller, in the sea foam green dress was stunning. And Ashley Tisdale looks fantastic as a brunette and in a metallic purple mini dress. Samantha: Sienna looked great, as always. Her dress would almost be worn at other award shows if it weren't for the very short length. Just like Meagan Fox’s gown too. Can you call a dress that short a gown? Diana: Meagan Fox looked great, and I loved her strappy heels, but what was going on with her hair? It looked like she rode in a convertible the whole way there Samantha: Maybe she thought between those sky high heels and that sky high skirt, no one was going to be looking at her hair?! Diana: Maybe, and Paris Hilton, as usual, pulled a top off as a dress! Only Paris, and only at some MTV awards! Do you have a question or topic for Mile High Style? Please e-mail us at
