10 nail colours you need in your collection

accreditation
Whether you go for regular manicures or paint them yourself, everyone loves adding some colour to their lives with a bit of nail polish.

From the classic French mani to the wildly popular nail art movement, for special occasions or just because you feel like it, painted nails have always been a part of women’s lives. Most of the Women24 community make sure their nails are on point by painting them at least once a week.

So who better to ask about the hottest colours to rock on your nails than you?

We asked our reader to share their favourite nail polish colours with us, and compiled a list of their most popular colours.

From the most popular to the least, here are your top 10 nail polish colours:
 
1.    Pink
Pink is by far the most popular colour. Some favour the deep dark pinks, others prefer lighter shades, but this wide range of tones ensure that there is a shade of pink for everyone.

2.    Purple

Some women are now swapping out their pinks in favour of edgier purples. Lilac, lavender and mauve are among your favourite shades of purple, but dark purple comes out on top.

There is a big emphasis on keeping things natural and neutral colours give your nails a natural look.

When you’re not quite feeling pink, but don’t want to deviate too far from your favourite colour, coral is the go-to shade for many of our readers.
