What is the most conservative way to do your nails for a job interview?

I have a job interview with the Army JAG Corps and I need to look as conservative and professional as possible. I am going to pull my hair back and wear a muted, neutral skirt suit with pearl earrings.





But what color should I do my nails? Should I get a pale pink, a bright red, a french manicure, or just paint them clear? I am interviewing for a legal position and legal employers always say their interviewees are not conservative enough. So what is the most conservative way to do your nails?





I need to look like Margaret Thatcher, basically.





Also, would you wear an american flag pin with your suit if you were interviewing for a civilian job with the military?





Any other advice on how to look as conservative %26amp; professional as possible at a job interview would be welcome. Thanks!|||Well groomed, clear polish, or pale pink. Nails no longer the 1/2 inch past the finger tip. 23 Years of military experiance.|||french mani or pale pink|||trim your nails fairly short, rounded and with a french manicure. this still makes you looked groom but not like your going to walk down the street after your interview and hit the club.|||The way to go is DEFINATELY the clear french manicure. Nothing else, it will do the trick!|||The nail line should be clean and the color should be as sublte as possible.





As for the pin, I wouldnt it looks like your trying too hard. Keep your makeup clean and simple.





Other than that, you sound prepared.|||pale pink|||a short french manicure is best for looking conservative, more conservative would be a plain buff with no polish. Flag pin, ok, if tasteful. good luck, hope this helps|||Simple, pink nails are the best. French manicure almost looks ghetto. And a conservative pin is fine, but please do not wear an american flag pin. It is not very professional.|||weeelll


red will not do. Red makes you look classic yet not as if you want this job. A french Manicure WiLL do because it makes it looks soft and innocent. It makes you look like a Pro|||Paint your nails clear and yes wear the pin.....also don%26#039;t wear very high pencil thin heels, it won%26#039;t look very conservative.|||hold the pin. they take that as tacky. i would go with a neutral or french, but a very subtle pink is very sleek also|||Flag would be cliche, ridiculous and childish. French is the most classy conservative way. Wear minimizer bras if you have big ones to look more conservative, and a long skirt suit, with simple NEVER HIGH-HEEL classy shoes.|||I would suggest wearing your nails short with just a clear coat of polish on them. If you have the money and time I%26#039;d stop in for a quick manicure, have the manicurist push your cuticles back, buff your nails, and give them a nice coat or two of polish. Seems to me that the most conservative women I%26#039;ve met always have plain nails. As to the American flag on your suit....I definitely would add one, as long as it%26#039;s simple and classic looking, not one of those plastic blinking light ones, lol....but you already knew that :)|||Your ideas are perfect. Nails: should be SHORT and either pale, pale pink, almost colorless, obviously matte. But not %26quot;pink-pink%26quot; - but instead a pale PINK/BEIGE. NOT RED OR FRENCH!!!


Yes, wear the American flag pin; the President wears it, you should too!!|||clear, french manicure or another very pale color, not red.
