Top Nail Trends Made Wearable for the Summer Season

Seattle, Washington (PRWEB) May 14, 2013

Summer is the season for experimenting with nail colors in ultra-bright tones, but not everyone can pull off a Peacock Blue manicure. Fortunately, nail trends this season can be translated to wearable looks that are sophisticated and playful. The Paulas Choice Research Team dishes on the best ways to experiment with manicures and pedicures that play up the warm weather.

Go Bold Pink the Right Way. Skin tone is an important part of picking the right nail polish, and just like makeup, every bold color has a variation to flatter any complexion. If cooler shades like hot pink look off, consider a warmer coral-pink tone. Coral-pink polish faves: Essie E-Nuf is E-Nuf ($ 8) or Chanel Orange Fizz ($ 26). Looking for cooler, blue-base pink options? Consider OPI Nail Lacquer Feelin' Hot-Hot-Hot! ($ 9) or Sinful Colors Nail Enamel in Boom Boom ($ 2).

Try Bright Yellow (Without Regret)! Lets face it, yellow just says happy. Medium to deep skin tones can easily opt for a brighter version, like OPI Nail Lacquer in It Color ($ 9) or Butter London in Cheeky Chops ($ 15). Fair to light complexions should consider creamier, pastel yellow. Some great options include Butter London in Jasper ($ 15) or Nails, Inc. in Belsize Park ($ 10).

Consider a Dark & Sophisticated Summer Polish. Tired of pastels and bright hues? Look to shades like deep eggplant or lush greenthese popular colors are perfect alternatives to the traditional summer polish picks. Essies Going Incognito ($ 8) is a gorgeous, deep green, while OPI Nail Lacquer in Tomorrow Never Dies ($ 9) is a sophisticated, shimmer azure purple.

Dry, Rough Hands & Feet are Always Out of Season. Last, but not least, before heading off to shop nail polish, have a plan to keep your mani/pedi looking tip-top between visits to the salon.
