8 Nail Polish Colors You’ll Always Regret
Neon! Glitter! Crackle! It’s all part of the current weird nail polish craze. But have you ever painted your nails neon green, only to wish you hadn’t a day later? I polled some friends about the nail polish decisions they routinely regret.
1. Crackle Polish
“I was so excited when my office got a free sample of that crackle nail polish that I put it on over my fresh manicure. A day later, it looked and felt like dried up cream cheese.”
2. Black
“It seems like it’ll be cool and badass at the time. But then you try to take it off a few days later and your finger nails look rotten.”
3. A Color You Copied From A Celebrity
“Once, I copied a color that I saw one of the actresses from ‘90210’ wearing. Yes, the new ‘90210,’ I’m the worst. I couldn’t stop thinking about that stupid actress all week. And it’s called ‘The It Color,’ which makes it even worse.”
4. Reverse French Manicure
“I know it’s trendy, but let’s be clear: it’s the nail equivalent of wearing lipliner without lipstick.”
5. Royal Blue
“I got this color called ‘Mesmerize’ by Essie once and it was awful. I looked like I belonged in a Limited Too catalog.”
6. Glitter With No Base Color
“It just ends up looking like you didn’t wash your hands after a craft project.”
7. Neon
“I know everyone is obsessed with neon, but it looks awful when it chips. Which is usually after, like, two days.”
8. Bright Green
“I had lunch with my grandmother while I had green on my nails. She asked, ‘Is it St. Patrick’s Day?’ She had a point!”

summerkindofgirl a year agoI like most of these, except neon and the white crackle, but these colors aren’t supposed to impress EVERYONE. If you just want to be fun, why not?

Ladyjenn925 a year agoI dont know bout anyone else but i love the black. Crackle looks cool, jus not that color. Yellows cute depends on who or when ur wearing it.

kea718 a year agoLove blue and neon nail polish. Actually, I love all fun nail polish colors… Key word being “fun”. I’m not really a fan of crackle, but I simply used some polish remover and it went away. If you don’t like a color you can easily remove it and start again. Any dark nail polish can stain nails, that’s why you use a base coat.

JennJR a year agoI really don’t get this SHIFT business. At first I was all for some type of LadyBuzzfeed, until I realized that you guys didn’t really have a plan outside of just flailing about. I can tell you this, though, the internet doesn’t need another den of girlsnark and vapid fashion/body policing. There are already plenty of those, and I’ve stopped reading them, too.

zombiebait a year agoHow can you regret something you can remove in one minute? Also, most of these were badass nail colors anyways.

Greengirl795 a year agoA lot of fail in this. I type this while wearing bright green nailpolish, which I will continue to wear.
Black has been trendy for about two years now.
Tardis Blue is really popular right now and apparently the neons and yellow shade will be the spring and summer items to get.
I found this from Cosmo, I can’t recall where the summer list is from http://www.cosmopolitan.com/hairstyles-beauty/skin-care-makeup/spring-nail-polish-colors-2012#slide-1 -
