Trending: Skin Tone Nails

Everyone is on a hunt for a perfect foundation that matches their skin shade, but it doesn’t stop at the face.

While Huda Beauty and Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty take care of delivering an even finish in our perfectly matched hue, nail polish brands are striving to give us slimmer looking hands by simply using a nude shade that is identical to our skin colour.

Different levels of your complexion have a lot to do with which nude nail polish to choose. Take a close look at your nail bed, if you can find a polish to match that tone then it will most likely compliment your skin.

If you are fair then try a polish with hints of pink as it will add a warmth without giving your hands a washed out look. Medium skin tones should seek peachy shades while a caramel polish is ideal for those with olive skin. Women with super-deep skin tones should avoid grey undertones as they can make the hands appear dull, instead choose rich dark chocolate hues as they will bring out the cool, blue undertones.
