\r\n Choosing nail polish can be difficult no matter if you want to have an in-style colour, or just can't make up your mind., but it's pretty easy to come up with the perfect shade. Make no mistake, though: choosing the right nail polish colour is important, because you want to complement your style, your skin tone, and even the shape of your hands. If you've got short fingers, for instance, you don't want a polish that makes them look stumpy, you want to elongate them. Here are some tips to picking the right colour:\r\n

\r\n On the basis of skin tone: Personally I don’t feel there is a need to take your skin tone into consideration; every color suits every skin tone so long as you are confident enough to carry it off with poise! However, if you are conscious about your complexion, here are a few suggestions of nail polish color that could help to compliment the tone of your skin:\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n1. For Fair Skin: Generally, if you have a fair skin, almost every color would suit you. Be it a deep shade or a light one, a bold one or a conventional color; be free to apply whichever color you like! Still, here is a few guiding tips you may find helpful. Get soft as well as bright shades of pink, purple and red (be it vermillion color or a berry red) to flatter your complexion. Shades of blue and silver look awesome! If you have a pale skin tone, you might like softer shades of peach, violet and brown since deeper shades would look too prominent. For a bold style statement, go for black, orange and green.\r\n

\r\n 2. For Dark Skin: Dark and rich shades look good on dark skinned women. Get chocolate brown, dark purple and maroon colored nail polish for a regular look. However, if your dark complexion is on account of excessive tanning, you might even like to apply light shades of brown and pink along with other warm shades. Golden color would look fabulous on you and if you want to be a bit experimental, lay your hands on a nice shade of yellow! Pearly white and peach color is also great for you if you want a natural look!\r\n

\r\n 3. For Medium Skin: The best option is to go for in-between colors if you are blessed with a medium skin tone. You can have a number of choices as far as nail color is concerned. For impressive hands, apply bright shades of orange, red, pink and yellow. If you want a tanned look, go for nail polish with glitters. You might like avoiding dark shades of blue, green and purple.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n On the basis of occasion: The occasion is a great determinant for you to choose nail polish color. Know the occasion for which you plan to wear a particular shade. For instance, if you want to go for an evening party, shades of bronze and gold would be fine. For a professional place, go for neutral shades or a French manicure. College goers might opt for vibrant shades of pink, blue, green and orange. Thus, take your occasion into consideration.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n On the basis of wardrobe, dress and jewelry: If you want to wear a particular saree or a skirt and you want nail polish to be especially matched with the particular outfit, make sure that you carry it to the shop and buy accordingly. The same rule applies for matching a particular ornament with your nail polish. You could even like to match it up with the color of your lipstick. Follow what your eye and your mind say!\r\n
\r\n
\r\n
\r\n On the basis of trends and seasonal demands: Trends keep changing and if you want to keep up with the hottest trends, make sure that you invest in your nail color wisely. Even seasons play a vital role. For instance, softer shades are more acceptable in summers while in winters, deeper shades reign!\r\n
