Hot Nail Polish Shades: Bluish Grey


Polishing Off the Week



Getting a manicure and pedicure for a woman is like making her total look and hygiene at high level. Just like our skin and hair, our nails should always be clean, free from dirt underneath each cuticle and nail bed.

Actually, you don't need to go to a spa or salon to get a professionally made mani and pedi because you can really do it at the comforts of your home. All you have to do is get the basic nail cleaners and some nail polishes that you like. Always make sure to soften 1st your hands and nail cuticles so it will not be hard for you to cut the cuticles (if you need to) or file them.

I've been picking some red colored nail polishes lately because it brighten and the color suits my complexion but I soon realized that I also need to try some new colors to jazz up my nail polish experiments. I have tried metallic green once on my birthday I think 2 years ago and I love it. I might try different colors next time.

Just found out the hottest nail polish shades at Polyvore and it's a bluish grey shade. I'm not quite sure if it will compliment my skin tone but I will not know until I will try it.

Check out these hottest and not so common nail polish shades

Choosing Nail Polish To Match Your Mood

It is the right season when you can see trendy females with fashion at their toes and style at their fingertips – it is the season for pedicures and manicures. That is when most women show interest in buying a few new bottles of nail polish in shades that would say a lot about their personalities and mood. It does not really matter if you are a salon regular, a do-it-yourselfer, or somewhere in the middle, there is a diverse range of new tricks, colours and trends to entice you.

Picking the Right Shade

Nail polish has always been a popular way to change your look or simply enhance your outfit. However, you need to take some care when selecting a shade because it can reveal a lot about your personality and mood. For instance, if you meet a woman with nail art over their manicure, you should quickly know you are meeting a risk taker and a fun personality. Similarly, nail art with strong, bright colours points to a free spirit who does not mind experimenting a bit with her look.

It is worth mentioning that in today's world when nails have become the most important accessory, many women tend to choose a shade regardless of mood; instead, they pick a shade considering the colour of their outfit, which is why nude shades are quite common – you can read more about nude shades HERE.

Due to the demands of different shades, popular brands and manufacturers are now offering interesting nail polish deals. However, you should bear in mind that the colour you choose would express your feelings and let others know about your mood, or the way you feel on a particular day. Here is a bit more about the colours you should change with a change in mood.

• In case you are feeling a bit sad, the best colour to express your mood would be dark blue. You may also opt for grey to show you are not in the mood.

• If something has made you angry and you think you will stay in that mood for some time, try black or aubergine to express your feelings.

• On days when you feel extremely happy, you can always opt for brighter shades. The best choice in this case would be to polish with turquoise or pink – some may also like to choose red to show they are happy, but you should avoid it, as red is associated with love. However, if you are feeling happy because you are in love, do not stop yourself from trying red nail polish – solid white shade is also a good way of showing you are in love.

• On days when you do not understand anything and are in a state of confusion, the best shade would be green or mustard. However, you should change the shades if you are more anxious than confused – the right shade in this case would be beige or sheer white.
