What can’t a neutral nail polish do? If you’re looking for a ‘goes-with-everything’ manicure, neutral nail colors complement various skin tones, elongate the fingers, and add an understated chic-vibe to your mani – at the same time.
But not all nudes are the same. Your ideal neutral nail color should flatter your skin tone and deliver a swoon-worthy manicure that will make you feel ready to conquer the world, or at least your day.
A sheer pink adds a subtle pop of color to make your nude mani, well, a little less nude.It’s feminine, versatile and will look good with ANYthing you’re wearing. We love sheer colors the most because they can be layered on to create the perfect shade for your skin tone.
Creamy beige will make your nails look done but not in an obvious way. Cream colored nails are reminiscent of our favorite foods likes biscuits, caramel, and cinnamon so there’s something so comforting about the shade.
Clear nail polish is like no-makeup, makeup. It brightens the nails and adds a glossy shine. If you like a clean look without being over the top, this is the shade for you!
Who says neutral nail colors have to be shimmer-free? Rose gold is a luxe nude with ‘pinkish’ undertones that compliment all skin types. The sparkle is glam and subtle at the same time.
Light, medium, and dark brown shades are a softer alternative to a dark black polish. Plus, brown polish screams fall. Brown shades are light, tan and dark skinned friendly. You would look amazing with brown ombre nails too!
Undoubtedly the mecca of neutral nail polishes, a nude nail, looks perfectly elegant and sophisticated.The secret to finding the perfect beige is trying to go one shade lighter or one shade darker than your skin color.
Mauve is an ideal pick for matching with all outfits, seasons, and occasions. It’s fancy but understated, delicate but noticeable, and just so fun! One of our favorite not so nude, neutral nail polish colors.
grey nail polish – medium skin tones tend to have an olive or neutral undertone which make it easy to pair with any grey shade. the cool tones in "smokin' hot" look fantastic against these undertones and the deep smoky nail polish shade adds a dramatic contrast.
The older you get, the more you want to focus on flattering nail shades that bring a youthful glow back to your mani and brighten your skin. Think iconic nudes like Ballet Slippers or Bubble Bath, pops of color like Revlon Red or Cajun Shrimp, or trendy neutral hues like taupe or terracotta.
Think of a natural nail color in a light blush, a medium pink nude, or even a classic mauve to warm up your skin. Go for sheer nudes in pinkish tints; a sheer taupe can work well for you, too.
Those with neutral skin tones have the benefit of suiting almost all hues, but tend to look best in ones that fall in the middle of the spectrum — neither too bright, nor too bold. Consider a palette of dusty pink, medium green, jade, light peach and lagoon blue when opting for colour.
Lighter Tones: Choose lighter shades of any color, such as pastels or light grays. Lighter tones help to brighten the hands and create a more youthful appearance. Sheer and Natural Finishes: Consider using sheer or natural finishes, like a sheer pink or a clear coat.
As you get older, your skin is more likely to be showing your bluish veins. I suggest avoiding pale or cool tones such as blues and greens or blue-based reds and plums. These will emphasize any veins that are visible.
Pastel colors, blue-based reds, and jewel tones are also very flattering. If you're choosing brown nail polish, lean toward taupes. This dark, blue-leaning red almost has a wine quality that makes it feels moody and classic at the same time.
Bright Red, Coral Pink, Hot Pink, Turquoise, Cobalt blue, Navy, Emerald Green, Fuchsia, Black, and White in the brightest of brightest hues on your toes will marry back best of all.
White nails truly go with everything and make any color pop. If you're silently questioning “does white nail polish look good?”, the answer is yes. In the summertime it can be paired beautifully with pastels or bright clothing in your wardrobe.
Think of hues like beige, brown, cream, and white. Some even consider pastel pink to be neutral, as shades that fall within this category frequently overlap with nude tones.
A bluish shade indicates a cool complexion, while a greenish one shows you have a warm complexion. This makes matching easier, since cool complexions ask for cool shades (any tone of green, blue and purple), whereas warm complexions obviously require warm shades (all tones of yellow, orange, red and violet).
Neutral tones can pull off bold, bright colors or go for a more subtle, nude look. For neutral skin tones, caramel shades like coffee, taupe, pink, dark purple, and red are excellent choices. Those with warm undertones can opt for darker shades like deep purple, orange, and coppery red.
Softer or muted versions of the colours will look better as oversaturated colours can easily overpower your neutral skin tone. Recommended hair colour options include strawberry blonde, amber, copper, or rust shades, or go for ash, beige blond or honey brunette.
Pastel colors, blue-based reds, and jewel tones are also very flattering. If you're choosing brown nail polish, lean toward taupes. This dark, blue-leaning red almost has a wine quality that makes it feels moody and classic at the same time.
