For my skin tone, my neutral is OPI's Suzy and the Lifeguard. But when I'm working and I get warm, my skin tone changes darker, which turns Suzy light pink. And when I get cold my skin gets whiter.... and that makes Suzy looks dark. I'm wondering if that might be the problem -- there is no exact shade because your shade changes.

I would love to get some jelly nailpolishes for this reason. They are sorta sheer, so if you pick the right color family, the skin underneath works with it. Just like how lip glosses can be more universal than lipstick.

Yeah, that's an issue, too. It's just like the different foundation color you need in the winter and in summer.

I like this color: : Paint Me Tranquil (V)

It's rated 4 (low moderate hazard) out of 10 (hazardous) by the Environmental Working Group's "Skin Deep" rating system. Nail polish can be really toxic, actually... you gotta educate yourself and be careful.

Yup, that's my fav part, lol!

OPI

I also like Wet and Wild for cheap fun stuff, for temp colors. But I only use nail polish on my toenails, so YMMV.
