Your nail polish is so much more than color brushed onto the top of your nails. When done right, it should serve several purposes. One is to make sure it sets off your makeup selection well. Another is to express your mood, whether that means business sophisticated or out-on-the-town fun.
To match makeup shades headed into colder winter months, we often think of deep tones of violet, rich red shades, or browns that accent well. While these choices in color always seem to stay a safe fashionable option, there is a bold new choice this year. Be on the lookout for head-turning black or shades of gray in addition to deep shades inspired by the wine you drink. Denim is also a fun new look in nails. You might even want to tastefully add some sparkly glitter. Just, keep any pizzazz a bit more subtle so as to not overdo it and look like you just popped out of a slumber party.
Let’s focus on black for a moment, since it is perhaps the most surprising color making its return in nail polish. To some, black never went away. But, if it’s a new idea to you, maybe it’s time to take control and give it a try.
If you aren’t feeling the girly pink tones that wouldn’t look right on a frosty winter day anyway, it may be time to give black a try. One perk about black is that it goes with any outfit and is neutral.
Perhaps one of the most popular reasons it is back is that it gives an air of power. Black is going to portray an image of extreme high fashion and boldness.
For a true sense of power and control, go all out with a super high-gloss finish. If you want to step back a bit while still displaying your fashion sense, subdue the black a bit with a matte finish. Either way, your message will be clear. And, you will be in the know for this year’s fashionable nail color.
