Fashion is all about self-expression, and while many people express themselves through clothes, nails remain another major medium. Everything about nails is fascinating, from the endless design ideas to various colour shades. If there is one fashion trend that has been growing rapidly in the last few decades, it has to be the different types of artistic nail designs being introduced to the beauty market. It’s almost like there is an underground bunker where a group of nail experts work 24/7 to invent new ways for nails to be worn.

However, despite the incredible designs of nails, it is always important to bear in mind that a nail colour choice can either make or destroy a nail design. Before a manicure, a lady needs to have the right information to make an accurate selection.

In this article, we have provided a list of five nail colours every lady needs to try out. And by colours, we are not referring to the cliché colours like black and nude, we are talking about fashion-forward colours that will make you stand out, leave everyone gagged, and position you as a fashion must watch.

Yellow

Often described as the unsung hero of the nail polish industry, most women tend to quickly dismiss the idea of using this colour, preferring cliché colours like nude and black. The versatility of yellow is astonishing as it is suitable for nail designs ranging from French tips to asymmetrical clouds. With the various shades it offers, it adds that extra pop of colour to the hands, and elevates the look of its wearer into a chic and sophisticated appearance.

So, when next you go for a manicure, and the nail technician asks what colour you prefer, don’t waste time to say, “Yellow, please.”

Neon green

Want to step up your nail game? Look no further because Neon green got you covered. Nothing screams bold, energetic, colourful, and fun better than the Neon green nail polish. Wearing Neon green is a subtle way of informing everyone that you are a risk-taker and trendsetter.
Here are a few nail design suggestions you can try out: Coffin neon green nails, almond neon green nails, stiletto neon green nails, and square neon green nails. With these designs, your fingernails are sure to be the centre of attraction.

Orange

A fresh look shouldn’t appear on your face only, your nails also deserve the amazing treat. Remember, people pay attention to details like your fingernails, so you need to create a lasting impression. Orange helps brighten your nails, flatter your skin, and creates a stunning twist.
From chilling with your girlfriends on the beach to attending formal events, Orange is sure to give your fingers a cute and radiant glow.

White

Look over there! Is that a 00’s nail trend I see emerging from the shadows into the limelight? White nail paints have been around for over a decade, and while the trend dissolved, it’s back and this time, it’s proving to be more than just white. Designing white nails is very fun since it goes so well with accessory pieces like pearls, stones, gold. It is also a great canvas for patterns, polka dots, and other mini-illustrations.
With beautifully designed white nails, your hands are sure to be a work of art; which might someday be displayed alongside artworks from the likes of Picasso.

Red

The category is red for days. It’s the season of love, ladies! This is that time of the year when you pull out that red gown and shoes you tucked away in your wardrobe last year, and start to prepare for that date or social event. Decide to spice things up this year, and try something new like red nails. Red nails are everything and are literally to die for.
Not only do they scream sexy, but they also symbolise confidence, class, and glamour. When it comes to red, there are some drool-worthy nail designs for you to explore, such as metallic red nails, red with gold cuticles, red marble nails, red with rhinestone nails, and red with hearts nails.

Ohh, did I forget to mention that red nails are very photogenic, which translates to good pictures, leading to more followers on social media. And who knows, you might be the next Toke Makinwa.

BONUS- Glitters

Okay, this might not be a specific type of colour, but I just had to include it. Glitters are super fun and very fancy. They are the type of nails that scream, “look at me, I’m so expensive. I might buy your eyes if you stare at me too long.”

There you have it, ladies; five nail colours you need to try out before this year (scratch that; this month) Hope you enjoyed reading this article more than I did writing? Do your girlfriends a huge favour by sending this link to their inbox.
