Mother Blogger's and The Working Girl's Results:  As happens more times than not, the girls' personalities and results were polar opposites.  I bet you can guess which one of the ladies  "dares to be bold."

Check back tomorrow for another fabulous Manic Monday giveaway!

Yesterday, The Working Girl and Mother Blogger spoke of yearning for the softer side of life, and it seems they are not the only ones.  Whether it's home design and decorating *, fashion, or nails, pastel green is trend-on for spring 2010 -- especially mint green. 

(The Mum is currently housed in a mint green robe surrounded by walls with varying shades of green paint, while the mint green-tipped nails of The Working Girl type this post.)

Green symbolizes the country’s eco-friendly spirit and inspires a restful mood..The nail color provides an exotic pop to the hands without being too bright and distracting. 

With Chanel (Jade), Essie (Mint Candy Apple), and Exhibit (Mint Green) already offering greens, it is sure to be a trend that sticks. 

*For our home decorating enthusiasts, Benjamin Moore's Cedar Green, 2034-40, a yellow-green, is the IT color for 2010.

In an attempt to see what all the hoopla was about, Mother Blogger and The Working Girl bought Allure's award winning nail polish -- Sally Hansen's Insta Dri-Nail Color.

Mother Blogger, whose hands aren't that steady, loved how easily she could apply the product.

Hola, senoritas.  While snug as a bug in a TT350 Spa Pedicure Chair with Shiatsu rolling, tabbing, flapping, and a combo therof  while the pedicurist gently brushed his fingers over Mother Blogger's arch during a deluxe manicure, spasms of laughter erupted  from her!  Mother Blogger can't help that she suffers from gargalesis -- a dramatic ticklish response, but here's nothing funny about OPI's Spain collection for fall of 2009.   

Seriously, who creates the clever names for OPI?  

Among women, OPI names are kind of like Seinfeld episodes. All you have to say is "I'm Not Really a Waitress Red?" and every woman nods knowingly.

With being preggers, The Working Girl is staying out of nail salons, but her fave from the Spain Collection is the deep emerald Here Today...Aragon Tomorrow.

Mother Blogger's fave from the Spain Collection and dancing across her toes,  Pink Flamenco.
