If you have a bunch of holiday parties coming up and a selection of open-toed shoes to wear to each one, you might be wondering how you’re going to paint your toenails. Polished toes look pretty and sophisticated, but which color polish will you choose? Consider these three ideas.

1. Nude. If you want your toes to look long and lean while putting the focus on your footwear instead of your feet, try nude polish that matches your skintone. Everyone will be commenting on how great your shoes are!

2. Match the shoe. It might also be a good idea to paint your nails the same shade as your footwear. Whether you’re donning black, fuchsia, jade or blue sandals or peep-toes, a matching shade of polish will make your outfit look complete.

3. Contrast. For an unexpected pop of color, why not choose a shade of nail lacquer that contrasts your footwear shade? This might be fun if you have a couple of accessories that match too. For example, pair blue polish with pink shoes and a pink dress, then choose a blue necklace or clutch.

Can't leave the house without my... - Lip gloss. The rest of the day can be a total bust, but if I have a great gloss on I feel like at least I've done one thing right! I would describe my style as... - Definitely au naturale. While I love exploring new shades of eyeshadow and liner on special occasions, for me the most important part of any beauty regimen is keeping my skin clear and blemish-free.
