Agree or not, when it comes to picking the right nail paint for a formal meeting or to be more precise for an interview, most of us are 99.9% times confused. Right? And this confusion leads to many phone calls to our fashion enthusiast friends to ask for some advice, but ultimately we are left with only two options — either a transparent nail paint for some shine or leaving it as it is with nothing at all. People who use their hands a lot while talking would know that nails play an important part and how essential it is to chose a right nail polish. But do not worry, we are here to solve all your nail paint related problems that will not only make your hands look beautiful but will also help you to create a good impression and crack that important interview. Here you go:
