Hair Styling Tools

I’m sure that most of you who polish your fingernails, or toenails, and go with a color rather than the “french manicure” or “pink and whites”, debate over what color to wear each and every time it is time to change your color.  It can be a dilemma simply because if you are anything like me, it has got to coordinate with what I’m wearing or the color will really stand out in a negative way rather than positive.  Also, if the color just doesn’t go with your skin tone, it can also be a problem for you.  So how do we overcome this?

I ran into a shopper recently who shared this great idea with me.  I then later read in a Family Circle Magazine that Essie Weingarten, the creative head and CEO of Essie Nail Polish also had this same idea that the customer shared with me.  When you are ready to try a new color, and are in a place where they let you sample a color, take a piece of clear tape on a clean nail and brush color over it to see if the shade is the right one for you.  Now granted, most stores are not going to have a tape dispenser at your disposal, but if you already know that you are going to be shopping for a new nail polish color, then simply throw a small tape dispenser in your purse and you are good to go.

I have tried this idea and I’m telling you it works.  It is so much easier to tear off the piece of tape from your nail and discard rather than having to go home and get out the polish remover.  And, I wasn’t second guessing my color selection once I got  home with the newly purchased  polish.
