Welcome to "Out of Office," ELLE.com's weekly roundup of essentials for the perfect Summer Friday, day-off, or personal day of hooky. You're officially OOO.

Get a tan, fast. The self-tanning mist can provide a light, sun-kissed glow in one hour, a golden tan in two, and a full bronze within three.

Summer is here which means it’s time for fluorescent nails. In the ‘What The Flock’ duo polish set you will get ‘Birds Before Boys’ a iridescent tangerine and pink that’s enhanced with bits of gold foil and ‘Anything Flamingoesss,’ the hottest of hot pinks that will make your nail beds look like the tropical bird.
