    Charlotte Dellal, Charlotte Olympia

    For Dellal, red nail varnish is the only option. Her favorites are from Mavala, whose collection of polishes provides a variety of bright crimsons—and which, like this sandal’s warm gold metallic color, promises to lift her spirits.

    Aurora James, Brother Vellies

    For Aurora James, Essie’s Tart Deco brings to mind “the sea, beautiful natural corals, sandy beaches, and all-night campfires.” Just slip your toes into her Springbok sandal—with its decidedly tribal textures—and you have the ideal pairing for a beach day in the Côte d’Ivoire, her favorite sun-drenched destination.

    Inga Savits, Inga

    To offset the bright yellows of the Izzy Sandal while simultaneously heightening the snakeskin texture, Savits reaches for CND Vinylux in Regally Yours, a rock ’n’ roll black with violet undertones. The added bonus? “It stays forever and goes with everything.”

    Mary Alice Malone and Roy Luwolt, Malone Souliers

    For a balance in color with “an element of surprise,” the pair recommends Butter London in Blowing Raspberries. The imperfection of the pairing is sexy.
