Here Is Your Guide To Every Nail Polish Finish Out There

These are the regular ones that you have been wearing. They are solid colours, with no-frills-attached.

These are usually in shades of gold, silver, bronze or copper shades. They are perfect for nights out and parties.

These are metallic shades on steroids. They are super shine and reflective and they also come in shades of gold, silver and rose gold.

These are usually clear nail polishes that have glittery particles suspended in them. They are famously difficult to remove, so be warned!

Matte finish is where the nail polish dries to a non-shiny finish, or you can apply your regular crème nail polish and then use a mattifying top-coat.

This is the kind of nail polish that has multi-coloured flecks in it.

These polishes look like the holograph stickers and when in the sunlight, they reflect light like an oil-slick floating on water. Need we say more!

These nail polishes can look like different colours under different angles. You could even layer this on top of a black base for some major oomph!

These polishes dry down to a grainy or sandy texture. They dry quickly and you can also apply a clear top coat to add an extra dimension.

These polishes are usually transparent and give a faint hint of colour because of the fine shiny particles suspended in it. If you are not in the habit of painting your nails or want Meghan Markle-like manicure, opt for a pearl finish nail polish. Image courtesy: Pinterest
