It is important that you include the color of your nails in the things to consider for interviews, field experiences, or meeting new people. In all job fields first impressions are the most important and most people will not forget about what they first thought of you. In order to leave a good taste in their mouth take a break from the loud nail polishes. My favorite color is the outrageous hot pink that you can find in any store, but I go with white tip French manicures or neutrals for my first impression. Most people might think that the flirty, loud colors will show that you have a fun personality, but in fact it tell the other person you push boundaries and aren't afraid to bend if not break the rules of conformity. Some might think that that is a great idea, but most bosses want to know that they can trust you representing their company.
Tip: Stay away from patterns (cheetah, zebra, giraffe), neon colors, dark colors (black, heavy purple, navy), and 3D nail art. Save these type of nails for girls night out, weekend getaways, and two or more week vacations. The way I keep my love of pink, but stay away from the loud hot pink color is by picking a light pink and paring it with one accent silver nail or one accent gold nail. Disclaimer: be careful about the glitter some employers frown upon the shiny stuff because it is just as distracting as the neon nail colors.
