Shape

Nails should be less rounded, and more square…think “squoval.” They should be filed following the natural nail line.

Color

This season’s colors are BOLD, as shown in the latest runway fashions. Try out dark reds, pretty plums, rich purples, and navy blues. Pinkies has a lovely OPI purple perfect for this winter-”Louvre Me, Louvre Me Not.”  Take some fashion-forward risks and try dark browns and dark oranges. Copper and grey tones are also on the rise, as seen on actress, Blake Lively.
