The 20 best nail polish colors of all time
We all love a great mani-pedi, but selecting the color that our nails will don for 2.5 weeks is a tricky task. Two minutes to pick a color before being whisked away to the pedicure chair doesn’t always give us enough time to make a wise decision. But lucky for you, we have rounded up our 20 favorite nail polish colors of all time to ensure that you’ll never go wrong when picking your polish.
