The Nail Polish Color I'll Be Wearing All Spring The phrase "happy wife, happy life" always makes me laugh. I've heard it at countless weddings -- said both in earnest and in jest -- and on many episodes of "House Hunters" (aka the best show on television) in reference to closets and kitchen upgrades. And while there's something inherently sexist about the expression, it's also kind of great because it gives us all the power.
Naturally, "happy wife, happy life" was destined to become a nail polish color. And the always-clever folks over at Essie used it to christen a punchy, powerful red that's part of the new bridal collection. Spiked with coral, Essie Nail Polish in Happy Wife, Happy Life, $8.50, is decidedly more spring-y than a true red, and it's flattering on most skin tones. And when people ask me about the color, I have no trouble remembering the name. It also goes perfectly with the white dresses and gingham midi skirts I plan on wearing this season. And then, of course, there's the fact that it's Essie, so you know the polish rocks. Why would I wear anything else for the next six months?
Even though my husband is not a fan of red nail polish, he hasn't mentioned my manicure. After all, you know what they say: "happy wife …" --Dawn Davis
