The Perfect Nail Color For Your Skin Tone

The weather is warming up and sandals and bright clothes are finally replacing our winter wardrobes... At this point of the year, there's nothing better than some well-groomed nails to flatter your new style and refresh your looks! But before hitting the salon for your first mani-pedi of 2014, here you can find some tips on the colors you should choose to perfectly match your skin tone. 

Pale complexions

• Shades that flatter: Pale: pastel pinks, blues and greens, pale peach, beige.
• Shades to avoid: Dark polishes like dark blue or black (unless you happen to like the Goth or vamp look), yellow, green, gold and orange.

Fair complexions

• Shades that flatter: Beige, white and silver. (French manicures look great), light and medium toned purples, soft oranges, darker pinks, reds and berry shades.
• Shades to avoid: Very dark blue, black, green, dark orange, gold.

Tan complexions

• Shades that flatter: Light blues, pinks and purples, tangerine, light brown, copper brown and chocolate.
• Shades to avoid: Gold and shades of gold (because it will blend in with the tanned skin and lose vibrancy).

Olive complexions

• Shades that flatter: Olive: peach or gold colors. Olive-medium: brown, reddish-browns, gold.
• Shades to avoid: Dark purple, red or navy blue. Bronze colors won’t show well against your skin tone.

Dark complexions

Dark complexions

• Shades that flatter: Deep purples, dark, yellow-based reds, dark greens, dark blues, black, chocolate-brown and gold.
• Shades to avoid: Orange, yellow, neon colors, pastels, white and silver.
