I try to have manicure once a week, nowadays I do it myself. Though there's not always time for a whole procedure, but a new color would still be essential - just like the other day, when I simply skipped the mani and added a layer of pearly white and some sparking confetti on top. Matched well with my clutch and especially with my lucite bangle, doesn't it?

Alexis Bittar launched his jewellery collections in the early '90s

- he began designing and making lucite and

semi-precious jewellery,

selling it on the streets of SoHo

and high-end specialty boutiques
