Nail colors for a nail polish virgin

[mbcdefg]

I've bitten my nails for years so I never wore nail polish. I think I've finally broken the habit, and I want to treat myself to a professional manicure before I go to a shower in a couple weeks.

Any suggestions on colors? I'm wearing a black and white dress with a red belt, and either a black or red cardigan. And I'm very fair-skinned.

I think I want a neutral color like gray, or maybe a dark blue or purple.

Grey would be good.

The salon by me uses China Glaze, Opi and Essie mainly.

China Glaze Recycle is probably the most what you're looking for, just doing a quick search.

I love Essie Chinchilly but it has a taupe and purple undertone depending on the light.


I would also consider red the color of your belt/cardigan.

I'm wearing this one right now, and I love it.  Definitely on the purplish side, but that's why I bought it.  It still looks pretty neutral/professional.

Thanks!

I think I actually have the Chinchilly on my Pinterest list. I was poking around my local CVS yesterday and nothing caught my eye. Their Essie selection was really small.

Think I should just see what colors the nail salon has in stock, or is it better to buy a bottle and bring it with me (for home touchups, I guess?).
