Matte Nail Polish in for 2010!

Light, dark, glittery or shiny, and now, the hot thing to start off the New Year – matte.   Even if you’re not feeling the matte polish look this year, there are still hundreds of other polish options to choose from.  And nail polish is a great accessory – versatile, variable, and affordable.

There is a color to match any outfit in your closet, and if not, you can make a little creation of your own by mixing two colors. Now the only problem: coral in the summer, brown in the fall, black in the winter, and pastels in the spring. But what about black in the summer or lime green in the fall? What if one is in the mood to wear “Pat on the Black,” a dark burgundy color bordering on black by Sally Hansen, but it’s the dead of summer?

 Nail polish is supposed to be fun, but similar to the rule that white clothing cannot be worn after Labor Day, specific nail colors are also being restricted to certain seasons. There have been several articles that say that dark is so in for winter and that pastels are the “it” color for spring, but that is nothing new. That is simply repeating the trend that has been so common for the past few years.

Well, I say forget it!  I refuse to refrain from wearing a nail color that catches my eye even if it doesn’t match the season. I also plan on rocking out with a matte finish nail color even if the trend does not catch on. Be daring, be bold, and make a statement with loud colors this winter. Set your own trend.
