"Hi. Today we're going to determine how to choose a nail polish color, and you can do that in a few different ways. You have to determine whether you're warm or cool. Shell has a very warm hand, or warm coloring. She has more of a yellow skin tone, and she looks probably better in more of the corally colors. Now, then, Margo, on the other hand, has more of a cool color, and if you look at the two together, you can see what I mean. And she, Margo, basically needs to stay away from anything with a blue in it, because it's just going to just draw away from her. So she's going to want something with a little bit more gold, or something to give her, give her a little more color. I, on the other hand, I'm cool also, but I'm a different shade of cool. So based on that, you need to take your color swatches and just see what seems to look better against your skin. Now, there's also neutral tones. Some people have a little pink, a little yellow, and a little blue in their skin tones, and they can wear just about any color. Like I said, you can see the blue in my hands, and you can see the yellow in hers. So if you're one of the lucky ones with a neutral, you can wear just about any color."
