Step 1
First think of the occasion in which you will be displaying your nails. Different occasions call for different colors. If you're going on a more professional outing, for example, you will want to have your nails a neutral, light color, while going out for a night of partying may give you a chance to use a brighter color that you just bought. Take these things into consideration first and go from there.
