Spice Up Your Neutral Nails
Published Nov 7, 2011
Neutral nails are great for the office, interviews, and ladylike lunches, but sometimes a plain color can be a little boring. So why not spice up that mani? Adding some sparkle or a second color in an interesting pattern (such as a reverse half-moon) can make a simple nail pop. We look to three of our Beauties for inspiration.
Jessica C.
Add silver glitter and rhinestones to a baby-pink polish for a pretty, feminine look. You'll have the fingernails of a princess!

Brittney W.
Brittney creates the upside-down half-moon by painting a base coat, then starting the contrasting color just a little higher up!

Rhea S.
Be like Rhea and paint a harlequin-style pattern over a nude polish. The subtle base color allows your nails to grow out without being noticeable!
