Summer is the time when women love to relax by the pool, get their tan on and have the hottest summer manicure. One of the toughest decisions is finding your go-to summer nail color.
Nail polish is undeniably one of the simplest ways to make a fashion statement, from the most natural neutral to the boldest of hues. Choosing a nail polish color at the salon is no simple task, with literally hundreds of polishes to choose from. This summer, there is a hot and trendy tone to flatter every skin tone.
Nude polish
Shades can range from slight hints of color, such as bone or ivory, to deeper shades such as creamy beige or light gray. Nude polish provides a very feminine look that is great for summer weddings or everyday wear.
