Thanks to a new crop of nail polishes that take their inspiration from the desert’s dusty hues, even those desk-bound among us can rise like a phoenix just in time for the start of the new season. Sweep on Côte’s dreamy (toxin-free!) duo of lacquers—in flaming chili pepper and smoky pink—or hit the figurative road with J.
