Whether you’re a fan of pink or red, Redbook recommends veering from your tried-and-true color for a taste of the other side. If you’re weary of making a big change, toenails are a great place to test out an unfamiliar color, according to the mag. CND’s Colour in Girlie Pink and Rouge Red are perfect choices for taking that first step.
