A guide to appropriate nail polish for work
Sometimes it is hard to commit to a nail polish color. You have to consider many variables including your mood, your outfits for the week, and your work environment. Neutral nail polish takes most of the guesswork out of choosing a nail polish color, but that does not mean your nails will look boring.
Below are the many benefits to wearing neutrals on your nails.
Red is classic
I included red into the mix because when in doubt, wear red. A bright red nail polish is a classic color that can do no wrong. When you wear red on your nails, channel the glamor and style of old Hollywood. Pretend you are fabulous like Marilyn Monroe or Judy Garland, and wear red with style.
Neutrals go with every outfit
Neutrals come in many different shades, and you can coordinate your nail polish color with a neutral element in your wardrobe for the week. Neutrals allow me to experiment more with my outfits because I do not have to worry about anything clashing with each other. You can also choose a nail color that matches your skin tone. I have a fair skin tone so I like to wear neutrals that have warm, pinkish tones.
Neutrals hide chips
I hate when my bright or dark nail polish suddenly chips because I feel like everyone can see my messed up manicure. Neutrals blend with your skin, which make chips less noticeable. This will keep you from taking your nail polish to work for touch ups. As an added bonus, neutrals make your fingers look longer because your skin color appears to continue to your fingertips.
Neutrals are safe
Neutrals are safe to wear to work. Some work environments frown upon colorful nail polish trends like blue-and-yellow striped nails or hot pink polka-dotted nails. A nice neutral nail polish is a great way to stay fashionable and still look professional at work.
With these benefits to wearing neutrals and the occasional red on your nails, how could you not love this look? Your boss will love your new sophisticated and professional nails too.
