Seasonal Colors
-
Decorate your nails with a seasonal color scheme if it is the holiday season or around the time of other festive days. Traditional Halloween colors include orange and black. Red and white are popular Christmas colors. Green is the main color of St. Patrick's Day, although you can combine orange, white and green to replicate the Irish flag. Almost any light pastel color is suitable for Easter. Red, white and blue represent the Fourth of July. Choose colors to celebrate these holidays. You can embellish your nails with decorative adhesives to add to festive color schemes.
Colored French Manicures
-
A standard French manicure features light pink nails with rounded white tips on the ends. You can add a new twist to this traditional look by choosing colors other than white and pink to complete your French manicure. Use a bold color instead of white on the tips, or keep the white tips and use a different color instead of the pink on the main nail body; try red. The colors you use for a colored French manicure is limited only by your creativity.

Glitter
-
You can add a glitter top coat onto any color of nail polish you choose. Glitter paint is typically clear but filled with shiny specks. It gives nails a glitzy sparkle while still showing the original color underneath. It also helps protect the main paint color below it. Choose gold glitter for a warm glitzy effect, or silver glitter for a more refined shine.
Nude Tones
-
Nude shades have been a popular choice in makeup and fashion for a long time. Consider using a nude shade if you do not want to paint your nails a flashier color. Nude polish looks natural and creates a toned-down look for your nails. Nude shades are available in light, dark and medium tones. They coordinate with all kinds of clothing outfits and are appropriate for all kinds of social events.
