There are also many tutorials on you tube, one of my favourite is cutepolish.
If you follow me on instagram you will see I try to update my nail colour every week. I tend to like darker colours for fall and winter and then go back to lights and brights in the summer. Another trend I like is painting one or two nails a different colour/shade or applying nail art/decals. My favourite are the sally hansen salon effects. I usually do this to my ring finger.
