Yep, you read that right. Ladies, it is time to face reality: NOT every shade of nail polish looks good on every skin tone. There, we said it! We give you a minute to accept the above fact. *breathe in, breathe out* Now, scroll down and restore your faith in the beauty universe by discovering the most flattering spring/summer shades, tailor-made for your skin tone!
How To Choose The Right Nail Colour
There are a few things to keep in mind when choosing the right shade of nail colour.
Season Of The Year
If it’s the summer season, like right now, pick a brighter, more cheerful colour that evokes a playful and tropical feeling. For winter, you can choose a richer and indulgent colour that reflects the sombre and serious mood of the cold weather. You can even mix it up with seasonal nail charms to add that extra oomph.
Skintone & Undertone
If you are looking for colours that complement your skin tone, go beyond the surface of your skin and pay attention to your undertones. If you have a warm undertone, then opt for warmer colours such as reds, oranges, and something with a hint of gold. If you have a cooler undertone, then opt for cooler colours such as blues, greens, and even peaches.
Get Creative
If you are looking for versatile yet accommodating shades, you can opt for hues that suit all skin tones, such as black, white, grey, maroon, and glitter.
