Nail Colors To Try Now

If you have been wearing the same nail polish color for years, or maybe even decades, you are really missing out on some modern and fun colors. Here are just a few examples of what is on trend in nail polish colors today.

Ruby and vibrant reds really pop against pale winter skin, and you can quickly glam up any black outfit with a coat of red polish and a tube of red lipstick.

Burnt orange polish is a nice alternative to gold. These rusty oranges are a great pairing with heavier winter fabrics, like tweed and wool.

Maybe it's the popularity of the the movie, The Black Swan, but it seems everything now has a ballet slant to it. Ballerina pink polish is very pretty. This is pretty much a classic color in polish, and it is wearable for just about any occasion.

Chrome nail polish was seen at many recent runway shows. The most popular in this color family seems to look almost like aluminum. A matte top coat will add some texture to this look.

Have you heard of greige? This cleverly named color is a cross between gray and beige, and this color has been extremely popular and worn in the most popular runway shows, like Marc Jacobs.

Similar to the ballerina pink, peach is another very wearable shade. If you are wearing dramatic eye makeup, for example, a light peachy color would be a great. For evening, the contrast between the dramatic makeup and light nails is very "in" right now.

If you have tried some of the midnight blue and black polishes and felt they were too garish for you, consider a plum shade. Plums can give you the dark and edgy look, but the plums tend to be more flattering on a variety of skin tones.

A very pretty nail look is a neutral bone or cream color polish. This color looks particularly crisp and modern with pink lipstick and blush.

It seems wine is not just for drinking anymore! Wine and deep Bordeaux nail colors are a great way to update your look. There are a variety of shades to choose from in this color spectrum.

As you can see, there are so many new and different shades to update your look. The next time you go for a manicure, try one of the new shades, like greige or chrome.
