Ways to use this wheel

  • Seasonal Polish Rotation: Spin every two weeks for a fresh manicure palette.
  • Mani-Pedi Contrast: Spin once for your hands and once for your toes.

Pick a polish without the dithering

A wall of bottles can make a simple choice slow. The wheel lists ten colors and finishes, from classic crimson to a milky chrome, deep emerald or a moody plum.

Spin before your appointment, or while you are at the shelf. If you dislike the result, you will learn what you actually want, which is useful too.

Tailoring the palette

Replace the colors with your own collection if you paint your nails at home. Include seasonal shades, and remove colors that clash with your wardrobe. Spin for one color for all nails, or one for each hand.
