Ever wear a pair of formal trousers and a clean-pressed shirt to a wedding? Ever attend a meeting with the messy hair look? Then why wear the same varnish to different occasion. How about you put on a shimmery nail paint when partying the night away? Wouldn’t the nude suit a meeting best? Nails are the hottest accessory of the season for women. Afterall, who doesn’t like having a little accessible luxury at their fingertips?
Considering this and more, Bindiya Chotrani puts down a list of nail enamel colours that are a must for your closet, to give you the complete your perfect look.
The barely there Nudes
Well, you can never go wrong with the nudes. While they aren’t too flashy, they are still there – making your nails look brilliantly clean and nude and polished – all at the same time. You can pick up from the Goss Nail Lacquer, to the Keen Nail lacquer, to the Crumpet Nail lacquer, to the Aston Nail Lacquer – each of these help add the perfect touch while giving you the ‘no-pun intended’ polished look. Put them on when popping a bottle in the hamper for a toast on the beach – or anywhere else if you may. This one is almost like a never-boring tan for you pretty long well-kempt nails.
Hues of Metallic
These colours on your nails look like some piece of jewellery than nail paint. Moreso, they have an unbelievable sheen that get you just the right attention that you’d want. And if you’re worrying, that the bronze and silver may look like a hangover from the party season, then perish that notion. Metallic is in fact one of those colours that suit any and every occasion and also sit effortlessly against all tones. They can help you dress up or down or beautiful, depending on a one layered wash or a two layered statement and never fail to look utterly stylish. Glitsy and glamorous, yet stylish enough to be worn everyday, we say.
The Peppy Pinks
Ask a girl what’s her favourite colour, and you hear her scream pink. Which is just why she doesn’t limit the colour to only clothes. She’d rather take them to nail enamel too. And moreso because there’s not just one shade of the pink. From Fuschia, to Jam n jelly, to Baby pink – the peppy colour has a one too many gradations, so much so that you’ll even wish you owned all of them. Wear what you may, the peppy lacquer is sure to spruce up your outfit. The pink enamel is a fool-proof way to transform your plain-Jane avatar into one of a glamazon.
The evergreen reds
We mean all kinds of red – rouge with undertones of orange, blue, pink and purple – although scarlet tops our list of hot-favourites. Your go-to colour, this one can be worn in the day or night. Bright, effervescent and strong, you can opt for this one whenever you’re in doubt. While some may find it loud, there are also those who can carry it off with real élan. This one suits all skin tones.
The gothic black
Non-conformist, like to put across your point, wanting to make a point, strong-headed– if any of these define you, well, then the gothic black is your colour. Put it on and you’ve set it across straight for the others. Apply this in solitude or otherwise. This one will never fail to impress. Include them in your wardrobe. Try it on once, and you’ll want to have it on forever.
The shimmery shimmers
There are types of these – ones that come in a colour – purple, blue, green and the others that are a light silver, or light golden clear-coloured nail lacquer. Just perfect for a party, these colours even help you put your retro mode on. Dig into your mom’s closet and you are sure to find atleast one of these.
Flashy neons
Now if you’re not quite on board the glitter train, then with just a bit of luster, the neons are your final go-to. Available in green, orange, yellow, blue and more, these spoil you silly. Just a dash of these on your nails brightens up more than just your outfit, even your day. These are more than perfect for you, if you are a risk-taker.
