The Luck of the Irish, Emerald...the Color of 2013

By Laura Medina

You'll be glad to know there are many ways to wear green and a whole lot of opportunities to wear it.

Emerald, the jewel-toned shade of green, is the color of the year for 2013.

Because of this, there are sly and subtle way to "show your Irish" in nail polishes, eyeshadows, and hair streaks that will wash out on the day-after.

Kiss those days of pinning a clover cut of cheap construction paper-goodbye!

Say "hello" to nifty nail polishes and bold emeralds.
