CESLIE-The Women's Network™: Nail Polish Fashion Nail Polish Fashion ================================================================================ jamie on 19 July, 2006 07:15:00 Dear Jamie: “I've noticed that there are more color options in nail polish than every before. Should I change my color selection with each season? What are the new summer color trends and I never know if sparkles are in or out?” Meghan, B., Chicago, IL Dear Meghan: You are correct. The leading cosmetics companies that specialize in polish are producing more color options to complement their seasonal palettes. Also, companies like O.P.I. who manufacture high-quality polishes actually create "collections" for the seasons. The summer trends for polish tend to be towards soft shell pink, tangerine, and beige shades. A nude color with a glossy buff is also popular. These colors complement the espadrilles, or the bronze and golden stones on sandals, and earthy corked and platform shoes that are popular this summer. Some women like to always use their "signature" color, but, it is fun to change your color according to the seasons. Also, remember that it is not necessary to match your fingernails to you toenails. Many women choose a light almost sheer pink or beige for their fingers as those colors don't show chipping as much as a bright color.
