Tom Ford's hotly awaited beauty line goes on sale at Bergdorf's on November 1. The colors range from nudes to bright corals to deep plums, and the names are appropriately Ford-ian. (When the characters in Brave New World talked about "The Year of Our Ford," perhaps they meant Tom instead of Henry.) Ford's nail polish names seem to fall into one of three categories, so figure out which one appeals to you in order to choose the perfect shade for your next mani-pedi.
