Office Obsession: Arlenis Sosa's Violet Nails

When Dominican supermodel and Lancome spokesperson Arlenis Sosa swanned into the ESSENCE.com offices for a surprise visit, we were instantly charmed by the stunning, sweet, tall catwalk star. But it was her va-va-voom violet nail polish -- Lancome Le Vernis Nail Polish in Violet Groove -- that left us obsessed. The rich lilac shade, which debuted at Chris Benz's Spring 2011 show, was beyond gorgeous with her brown skin and added a dose of unexpected chic to her all-black ensemble. When the polish hits shelves in February, we'll be first in line! Lancome Le Vernis Nail Polish in Violet Groove, $15.50, available at department stores and Lancome.com in February 2011
