For me, my usual colours are;
* Deep shiny glossy dark red
* Deep shiny purple
I tend to put a clear coat over the top that is a 'wet look' and keeps them looking glossy. Sometimes I love to put jewels on them or transfers. I have tried to do the French polish, but its a nightmare at getting the white line and keeping a steady hand lol. I also tend to change the colour depending on if I've got a big 'do' to go to then matching the polish to the outfit I'm wearing. I also love my black one that has glitter in it, but as everyone knows its a real pain at removing polishes that has glitter in them, grrr, mwahaha.
