Have you ever looked forward to getting a fresh manicure, but once it was done you realized that the nail color looked absolutely awful on you? It happens to the best of us. Just like our hair and make-up, your nail polish colors should complement your skin tone. Don’t fall into the trap of picking a shade simply because it’s trending. Different colors complement different skin tones. In this article, we’ve rounded up some cute nail polish colors to get you on your merry way to manicure perfection.
Light skin tone
The trick with light complexions is picking shades that enrich the skin even more. With that said, avoid dark shades as they will compete with your fair complexion. For this type of skin tone, pink, nude, red, and blue work perfectly.
Medium-olive skin tones
Medium skin tones vary, so the color you choose will depend on your undertone. You can try metallic shades of silver and blue. Or perhaps peach or gold colors for olive complexions. As for the shades you should avoid, steer clear of red, dark purple, and navy blue.
Dark skin tone
Complement your deep skin tone with rich, deep shades, except dark brown. Colors like dark red, dark green, mocha, and maroons can work wonders. Avoid brighter shades such as orange, yellow, neon colors, pastels, white, and silver.
