"Hi, I'm Terry and in this segment we're going to talk about how to choose a nail color. Often I choose nail colors based on the season that I'm in. So if I'm doing a spring or winter, fall or summer, it's going to change the color of my nail polish. I usually change with the season. So if it's spring I want to keep with the pastels or the naturals. So you might want to go with like a really nude color or even just maybe a clear on your nails. And then summer, that's fun so you can just go with the latest summer colors. For this summer, I recommend the reds are really nice, peaches, pinks and yes, even purple. And then when you get in to the fall, you might want to go with some more earth tones, some browns, some nudes even gold to taupe, those are nice. And especially for around the holidays, you might want to do like a silver or a gold or a bronze, something like that. And those should take you through the seasons. Starting with spring all the way to fall, you can choose four different colors, four different nail polishes and you're set to go."
