I am doing a special offer over the next few weeks on pedicures,as a summer special.
So i was wondering what colour enamels are a must for this summer?
I don't mind wich brand,and i will be getting a lovely rich red,but does anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks

if you look at which coulours are in fashion this summer, you can get some ideas, red is in also hot pink, and a turquise blue always looks nice. A pretty french with little flowers on the big toe is always popular.

I use creative orange-a-peel & everyone that has chosen the colour for a pedicure has bought one, it is a really bright glossy orange.

There are loads of fab and bright colours about right now,what about the more subtle shades for the less daring?
Do i go for pale shimmers or flat matte ?

P.s my nail art is a little limted mainly because i can't flipping do it lol
Rhinestones are my forte at the minuite,but my clients are happy with that,and so am i until i do some airbrush training lol !

I think that is down to personal preference, I don't like shimmer, but lots of clients do, why not get a clear shimmer to use over the top of colours if they want it, the way you would with a clear glitter polish.

Great idea Jac,shimmer is not my thing either,but i want enough variation for my special offer.

Do you think soft pinks and bronzes are the way to go for the paler option ?

I have just recieved the Spring/Summer Pronails mag, it has some fab new colours. Black and white is a big one the catwalk this summer, therefore black and white nail polishes all around, with fab glitters and nail art stickers.

Pastle colours! in there romance collection are gorg!

"On the beach glitter powders" are amazing!!! flou orange, flou purple, flou pink ect........ Sound gross, but actually are really nice and very easy to do.

Pronails do some great nail art. Some of it is also featured on there website. HTH

Soft pinks & bronzes sound nice,

Have you thought about getting one of the "limited edition" sets that different brands do ? They usually have about 6 - 8 colours, with light & dark shades in.

I think Orly have got quite a nice set out.
