8 Nail Polish Colors That Can Spike Your Happiness Levels With Just One Swipe

Marie Kondo achieves it by tidying up. Elle Woods gets hers in Brooke's Butt-Buster workout. Sometimes, learning what makes you happy means looking around - even if you're holed up in a tiny apartment with a dwindling list of TV shows to watch. For beauty enthusiasts, adding a punch of color to your everyday - with, say, your nail polish - can be a quick way to spark joy.

First, from a logical standpoint: "One of the reasons a fun manicure or nail polish can really boost your mood is because it's one of the things we see the most throughout the day," said Sigourney Nunez, manicurist and OPI's education manager. "Your nails and hands are always in view."

"In these unique times of quarantine, I would choose a color that makes me feel like I'm anywhere else other than my apartment."

There's also psychological proof that certain shades can provide a sense of optimism, calm, or relaxation. Surrounding yourself with warmer tones, for example, can make you feel safe and uplifted; cooler hues can help put you at ease. They key is to consider the mood you're hoping to strike. "In these unique times of quarantine, I would choose a color that makes me feel like I'm anywhere else other than my apartment," said Lisa Logan, celebrity nail artist and ambassador for Nails.Inc.

Ahead, we're breaking down the eight nail polish colors that can convince your brain to think happier thoughts. And if that doesn't work, you can always try them all together: "Using rainbow colors in your manicure is a simple way to inspire joy and happiness," said Nunez. (What, like it's hard?)

My Destination Wedding Is Weeks Away, and Here's How Coronavirus Is Affecting It

The stress of planning a wedding can be overwhelming already, but with the ongoing pandemic of coronavirus (COVID-19), my worry and anxiety have skyrocketed.

Our wedding is in June, which falls right outside of the CDC's eight-week proposed timeline for avoiding groups of 50 or more - but we know this could be extended. Currently, we're expecting 38 guests at our small ceremony, but we're preparing ourselves for that number to decline if the spread of the virus continues. And here's the difficult part - we live on Maui, and over half of our guests will have to travel through multiple major airports and come in contact with many people to get here.

As hard as it is to come to terms with, our wedding can be rescheduled.

Our island community is delicate, and the risk of bringing more infection here could be devastating. My fiancé and I desperately want to protect our guests and our island, but we're not ready to let go of the hope that things will be better by the time our big day rolls around. As of right now, we're continuing with our current plans and holding off on making any major decisions until we can reevaluate the situation when it gets closer to our date. Since we planned a small event, we won't be out too much money. Our remaining balances aren't due until a month before our wedding, and the local vendors we're working with have been sensitive to the situation and willing to work with us, which is incredibly lucky. We've been discussing backup plans and decided we are willing to hold an even smaller event with his family and our tight-knit group of friends that already live on island, as long as my parents are still able to make it.

As much as we want to celebrate with our loved ones, we want to make sure they know they don't have to risk their health or expend finances they might not have due to various workplaces shutting down. As hard as it is to come to terms with, our wedding can be rescheduled, and protecting our guests means doing whatever is right for them when the date approaches.

And it both helps and breaks my heart knowing that I'm not alone. The wedding groups I'm a part of on Facebook are flooded with posts seeking advice about what to do, where to order cancelation and postponement cards, and general heartbreak over the unknown. While I know things can certainly be worse, it still saddens me to see so many couples who have been planning their dream weddings for ages seeing their plans shut down by something completely out of anyone's control. The happiest day of our lives has turned into one of the most unknown and confusing.

The main thing that's helping me through right now is remembering that I'm still marrying my best friend, one way or another. If we have to, we'll elope and celebrate with loved ones later on down the road, but our love won't be broken by a change in plans.

Joshua Jackson Says Reese Witherspoon and Kerry Washington Eased His Anxiety Over Becoming a Parent

With his wife, Jodie Turner-Smith, just days away from her April 1 due date, soon-to-be dad Joshua Jackson is relying on his Little Fires Everywhere costars Kerry Washington and Reese Witherspoon for advice. Feeling anxious about Jodie giving birth during this uncertain time, he told Buzzfeed's AM to DM that he's been doing his best to prepare for his daughter's arrival.

"We were kind of social distancing anyway, just getting into the nesting phase," he said. "The only real difficult part right now is how to interface with the medical community. Obviously, we have to, and we are just trying to take that one day by day, to try to figure out what the best and healthiest way is. I've never been a parent before, so I'm not quite sure how much of this is just first-baby anxiety and how much of this is pandemic anxiety."

Aside from his obvious worries about the spread of the novel coronavirus, Joshua asked Reese and Kerry everything from getting the best healthcare to what he should be doing before the baby comes. "In the very beginning, I was like, who [do] I go to as an OB? What are the things I need to know now?" But with two moms on set, he had an amazing support system. "But also, as it got a little bit deeper into it, just, like, how do you integrate your home life?"

For Joshua, who keeps his private life, well, private, he was curious how Reese and Kerry balance their careers with being a parent. "I have always kept my personal life and my work life pretty separate," he explained. "But I don't think I want to do that going forward, because I want to obviously have my child around when I'm at work - and just asking them how they integrate those two things and how they create an environment inside a set environment that's a healthy place for a kid to be, because it's often not."

Joshua has Reese and Kerry to thank for keeping him grounded during his understandable times of uncertainty. After all, there are a lot of unknowns when becoming a parent for the first time. "Like, holy Moses! This is happening!" he said, and added of his costars' responses to his anxiety: "And [Reese and Kerry] just both being like, 'It's OK! This is normal! It's alright. Just breathe. You're going to be good.'"
