ScarJo Goes Nude with HIPPXRGB


Just got a tip from green celebrity nail stylist Jenna Hipp that she used HIPPxRGB Nail Foundation F2 topped with Nail Tint T1 on the lovely Scarlett Johansson at The Avengers premiere this week. (See “More” for a photo of Scarlett’s nails.) The result? A perfectly matched nude polish.

Unlike the frenetic lights-on energy of Vegas, the 24/7 availability of New York, the debauchery of Jamaica is the guilty pleasure of doing nothing and then feeling not guilty at all for doing it. 

Thanks to you guys, I discovered the hotel via Twitter-surfing (special thanks to the Bergdorf account) and then via its hordes of accolades (a favorite of Travel and Leisure, GQ, Brides) for a four-day long-needed girls trip back in May. Jamaica is mostly known for the ease of all-inclusive packages like Sandals, but the extremely attentive staff, four-star accommodations, and stone’s throw ocean access make it just as facile and a favorite of people like Nanette Lepore and John Slattery, who visit every year.
