Rachel Zoe's Color Philosophy

 

“Color is not just a suggestion, it's a jurisdiction. I've spent my entire career as a stylist working on getting color exactly right, down to the final touch: the nails. Color really is where it begins and where it ends. The choice is in your hands. It's essie...obviously.” - Rachel Zoe
