      • Classics: Violets, ruby reds, plums, burgundy, white, black, pale pink

  2. Choose the nail polish color according to the season. Bright shades are considered more suitable for summer, while darker shades are considered apt for winter. Moreover, the fashion industry determines which fashion colors are in for each season, so you might like to follow that guidance and match the nail polish to the fashion season's color choices.
  3. Consider choosing nail polish with a bit of sparkle. Glitter nail polishes are also available in market. The best color selection for these nail polishes again depends on the complexion of your hands.
