Most of us women have this thing in common where we never seem to pick out a color for ourselves at the nail salon quick enough. We usually go back and forth between a few shades and end up picking a totally different color in the end. And, sometimes even then, we still aren’t sure we like it. Some may say this is due to indecisiveness, I say most women just simply do not know what color best suits their skin tone. After gathering information from our color specialists, here’s a guide to pick the hottest color for YOU.
