Matching toes and fingers - nail polish doubts

Filed in archive Beauty on May 5, 2007

During the warm season, when all of our fingers are out in the open for everyone to see, one of the most important things is to make them look great. You have to pedicure and manicure regularly, since you can't put on boots and gloves to hide away the beauty laziness.

But, what about nail polish? Should the colors be the same on your fingers and on your toes, and above all, should it match your clothes? The simple answer is - no. That is because color is really in at the moment, so nails are just one more playground for the bold and beautiful, many smirk these days when seeing a woman in a red dress, with exactly the same red lipstick and nail polish.

Better way to go is to get two tones of the same shade, like dark red and true red, golden and bronze, royal blue and black-blue, purple and pink - just play around. I prefer my toenails screaming red, and at the moment I'm wearing a MAC nail polish in Lady Minx shade, looks great. These are my favorite everyday colors, since they go great with any clothing, while I prefer silver and golden shades for weekends.

Let me also remind you that if you plan on wearing the popular black varnishes, or are going to experiment with blue ones, you should consider cutting your fingernails shorter. Otherwise it looks just too much.
