Move over navy and black: right now, nail colour is all about rich shades of chocolate. "Most browns look beautiful on every skin colour," says Suzi Weiss-Fischmann, O.P.I executive vice-president and artistic director, but she suggests those who have particularly warm or cool complexions should choose opposite tones for a flattering effect.

Expert tip: "An immaculately manicured, short squoval nail [square tip with slightly rounded edges] looks best with this shade," advises Weiss-Fischmann.
