Nail polish colors can be tricky. You want to pick a color that will compliment you and show your personality to add to your beauty. You can wear any color you want, anytime you want of course. But it is better to wear light and fresh colors in the Spring/Summer and darker and deeper colors in the Fall/Winter. The deeper and darker shades compliment people more in the Winter months because they tend to blend with the surroundings and clothing choices women wear in the Winter. The nail polish color trends for Winter 2008 - 2009 are grays, indigos, burgundy and deep shades of cranberry, mauve, purple and dark blue. Some high end nail parlors recommend shades like deep indigo, turquoise, rich wines and gunmetal grey for the Winter. Grey is complimentary to many people because it isn’t especially particular to any one skin tone.
You may also want to have a bottle of fast drying nail polish or a clear coat to protect your polish and make it shine. Deep colors are all the rage in the Winter because the deep and dramatic hues boost your mood in the Winter when you may be feeling more down than usual. There are also classic colors that will never go out of style like rich reds, cranberry, purple mauve and dark brown. The nude colors are also good for Winter time. A pinkish cream color or a nude cream color are very complimentary in the Winter months. Nail polish is a way to show a part of your personality.
Try different shades on your nails to see which colors look best with your skin tone and your nails. To deepen the color of a polish paint on two layers on your nails. You could also start with one coat of a frost color and then put a coat of the nail polish on, this will give you a sheer look on your nails. It will also allow you to use less coats to get the color to show up. You may want to use a base coat for a darker shade because it can stain your nails. Also, for dark colors try to keep your fingernails short. Black, gold and silver are other colors that can look good in the Winter months, as long as their worn with shorter nails.
Go ahead and buy a few bottles to make your nails fabulous this Winter! You can find inexpensive nail polish at retailers like Wal-Mart, Dollar Tree, Dollar General, Five Below and many drug stores.
