33 SUMMER SEX-YOU-UPPERS.(beauty tips)

Revel in your right-now radiance with the funnest, flirtiest, foxiest beauty fixes--from a hot pink python pedicure to icy-cool lilac eyes.

1 Steal the fashion world's hottest trend to sex up your stride: Try a python-print pedicure. The service is available for about $5 per toe at 8,000 Creative Nail Design--affiliated salons nationwide. For locations near you, go to www.creativenail.com. Or do it yourself: First, apply a light pink base coat, then use a tiny paintbrush to create free-form hot pink diamond shapes on the nail, says Creative Nail president Jan Arnold. After that dries, add another coat of light pink. Press a little scrap of tulle or netting over the nail for two seconds then quickly remove it, and you should see a totally convincing scaly effect. Try Creative Nail Design Enamel in pale rose Strawberry Smoothie and hot-pink Tutti Frutti, $6 each.

2 The season's coolest makeup (literally): gel-based eye shadows, bronzers, and foundations that feel frosty when they touch your skin--the perfect soothers for flushed cheeks and puffy lids. Our fave: a shimmery lavender shadow. Try Helena Rubinstein Frozen Eye Shadow in Winter Tropics, $18.50, or Aveda Cooling Calming Cover Tint (for face), $18 each.

3 Be prepared for a spur-of-the-moment party: Stash some tiny predipped eye-shadow applicators in your purse so you can swipe on a sexy smudge in seconds. Try B'Box Eye Colors, $8.

4 Bored with your landlocked locks? Fake sexy I've-just-come-from-the-beach hair: Mix 1 tablespoon of sea salt with 1 cup of water, mist on tresses, and blow-dry for a minute or two, says hair and makeup pro Barbara Fazio. Words to the wise: Stick with the low setting (you want to look pretty, not possessed).

5 Too hot in your hose? Beat the heat by applying minty moisturizer over your nylons--it'll cool your legs without making your stockings sticky, says Pennsylvania beauty boutique owner, Scarlett. Try Mintherapy Sole Soother Foot Lotion, $7.95.

6 The perfect accessory for a party dress? Scintillating send-him-spinning skin. Maximize your natural glow with a pearl-spiked lotion. Try Clarins Shimmer After Sun Moisturizer, $21.
