Finding the Best Nail Polish Color For You

By Lisa Markum When I get a manicure, I always notice everyone having a hard time choosing a color. There are thousands of colors to choose from, so it's going to be hard for many people! After being in the fashion industry for many years, I've come up with some ways to make it easier and I'm here to share these tips with you.

So where do we start when choosing a color for your nail polish? Consider what you're doing your nails for. Do you have a special event or meeting to attend? Actually, based on the event the color can really be narrowed down.

Neutral colors or colors that are muted are very professional. If you have a presentation or any business meeting, these color tones are a great selection. It keeps it real simple and professional. On the flip side, if you go with something funky for a meeting it may distract your audience if you use your hands at all.

We all love fun colors. The proper times to use something fun and funky are for parties! It can be a day or night party, although they'll vary based on time of the day. Gold and Silver are great options for an evening affair and look great if they're matched up with your jewelry.

Always consider the best options for your skin tone. If you're fair skinned, then lighter colors will look best on you. Shades of pink, blue, light reds are all great options. If you want to spice it up for the evening, go with something a bit more intensified.

If you're olive or dark skinned, you definitely have more options to choose from. Vibrant colors as well as ambers or gold colors will look great. Colors like deep reds, purples and russet are all great options as well.

Always consider the season. Winter colors are very different than summer colors. For the winter and fall dark colors work best. Dark and rich colors like wicked (a popular color) is always a hit during the winter. For summer, lighter colors like pinks and lavenders are great options. This summer neon colors were a big hit.

The next time you're in the nail salon and having a hard time choosing a nail color, think back on this article. Hopefully this will help make the process easier for you!
