Despite what the current cold front in the northeast might indicate at the moment, spring is approaching fast, which means it's almost time to break out the pastel nail colors and the bright and bubbly designs that have become synonymous with sunny weather over the years. It also means that this is a great time to soak up the last few weeks of winter wearing one final warm and cozy manicure featuring a rich, darker shade, and Penelope Cruz's chocolate brown nails are giving me all the inspiration I need.
Cruz is set to star in the upcoming horror/sci-fi film, The Bride, which hits theaters on March 6. Ahead of its theatrical release, she joined a few of her co-stars in attending a photo call for the film in London, where she wore a low-cut black dress with long sleeves and pleats along the waistline. More importantly, instead of brightening up the look with one of the milky pink or neutral nail colors that have become a huge trend on red carpets in recent weeks, she doubled down on the dark theme and wore a glossy, chocolate brown manicure.
