A manicure is not just about caring for your nails, it's part of your image, a way to express your mood, emphasise your style or even make the right impression. Although seasonal trends are constantly changing, there is a basic palette of colours that every woman should have. These 5 colours are versatile, elegant and suitable for both everyday life and special occasions. 

Back in ancient Egypt, red was considered a symbol of luxury and was only available to aristocrats. Little has changed since then - red is still associated with sophistication and remains a timeless classic. It is the colour of strength, confidence and passion. It is universal and appropriate in any situation: be it a first date, a business meeting, a New Year's Eve party or everyday life. Red is always spectacular.

Pink is a colour that rushes into fashion and then fades into the background for a while. However, regardless of trends, it never completely disappears - you'll find it on the pages of fashion magazines and on your friends' nails. Pale pink, fuchsia, classic pink - among the many shades, everyone will find their perfect colour.

Especially worth noting is pale pink - the most versatile option. It combines with literally everything, remains relevant at any time of year and is appropriate in any situation: whether it is everyday wear, office image or a solemn event.

Pink gel varnishes

Pastel shades have a special charm - they are appropriate at any time of year, be it winter or summer. These delicate tones give hands a refined femininity and are ideal as a base for a wide variety of nail designs.

There are times in life when you don't want your manicure to attract attention at all. At such times, nude shades come to the rescue. They are as close as possible to the natural colour of the nails, thanks to which they look restrained and neat. Nude is a real find: versatile and appropriate in any situation - from everyday bustle to a party with glitter and fire.

Sometimes you want your nails to be the centre of attention - to attract attention and lift your spirits. Especially in summer, you want something bright and bold. In this case, choose saturated shades that you like. Bright manicure is not just a style, it is energy, positivity and a real charge of optimism!

If you think a collection of five lacquers is too few, we agree: the more choice, the better. However, if you decide to add new shades to your collection, we advise you to take a sensible approach - to avoid cluttering up your space with unnecessary bottles.

- Get rid of old lacquers - over time they thicken, clump and bubble, making them difficult to apply and making your manicure look sloppy.

- Choose lacquers that match your skin tone - such shades will emphasise the beauty of your hands and make them even more attractive.

- Don't keep lacquers in your collection that you don't like.
