For those who want to be bold without being too over the top can go for the dual polish effect. All you have to do is pick contrasting shades that flatter your skintone and use a small brush to paint on a graphic style—try a half moon, a vertical split, a V-shape or a diagonal strip.

Playing around with dark and dangerous themes is a big trend this year. Goth-inspired looks are also in. So dark colors are definitely in. Black is without a popular color mixed in with a dab of other contrasting colors to give off a dark Angel look. Why not? Go for the dare.
