But remember to make sure that you don’t go overboard with all the ‘bling’ together – so, if you chose your color to be an electric blue – you may keep the accessories bright; but in contrast with the shade, i.e. a bit softer one. Similarly, you can do vice versa, for creating your another 3D art. Also, stay away from heavy finger/wrist accessories if you want your nails to do all the talking; going over-the-top with accessories would end up looking nothing – but dingy!
