Factors like current trends, season, attire, occasion, etc., will influence one’s choice.
With thousands of nail colors to choose from for that Holiday look you can get lost just trying to decide which one to buy to suit your taste and personality. Will you go for the traditional ruby red to match those sexy red high heels? Or will you go for the glittery golden color?
Whew!
While we still love a bright red pedicure during summer, pastel polishes can actually make you look more tan! A vivid coral or neon pink will certainly make a statement, but a flamingo p
ink or baby blue creates the illusion of tanner skin on paler complexions.
Well shaped nails enhance the beauty of your hand. They emphasize the femininity of your hands and make them look expressive. Nail colors, add an interesting look to your fingers and sometimes add the missing character too. A bright red nail polish worn with bright clothing, takes away years from you, making you look younger than you actually are.
Nail colors also hide the flaws in your nails. For instance, nail ridges can be easily cloaked with two coats of nail polish. If you are planning to wear a nail paint to make your hands look classy and chic, then you need to be a little choosy about your nail colors. Here are a few tips for matching the nail colors with your skin tone.
Selecting Colors:
Find a nail color that will go with your lip color or lipstick. If you look good with chocolate brown lipstick, chances are that the same shade, will look good on your nails too.
1. Another way of determining the nail color is by matching it with your wardrobe. Thus, while choosing the nail colors, take an inventory of the dominant colors in your wardrobe.
2. Seasons and the ongoing trends are also determining factors for wearing nail paints. While summers, demand a light shade, winter calls for warmer hues.
Maintenance Tips:
1. Never EVER wash the dishes without gloves. Harsh detergents will chip and wreck your nails. Same goes for any household cleaning detergents.
2. Apply cuticle oil every day or evening. That’s right, on top of your polish! The oils will keep your tips hydrated and stop polishing from flaking off. Massage a drop or two into your cuticles and over your nail bed.
