Colourful swirls: For a party-ready look, try accenting your fingernails with a single statement nail adorned with eye-catching swirls. From vivid pink nail polish to shimmering silver, start off by polishing your nails with contrasting colours. Add light blue, silver glitter and magenta wavy streaks on another fingernail.
