Your nail polish says a ton about your style and personality. And it is absolutely essential to learn to choose the perfect colour to flatter your natural skin tone and look like the diva you are. Are you aware that the colour of your nails completely changes the way you look? While certain colours look amazing on those with olive skin tones, others pair best with light medium or dark skin tones. Play around with different colours to find out what goes best with your skin tone. Here’s a guide to help you. Olive-Medium Skin Tones You have a beautiful skin tone! You can carry almost any colour effortlessly. However, avoid gold and rust colours. Go for wines, dark burgundy, pinks, blues, purples or nudes. Rich shades like wine look great on this skin tone. However, if you want to keep it safe, you can never go wrong with darker shades like plum, burgundy, or dark red. Some shades of blue look stunning on olive and medium skin tones as well. While a pretty pastel blue does look cute, there’s nothing like bright sky blue colour on your nails. Funky colour makes your hands look fun and youthful. If you love sticking to traditional hues, you can never go wrong with peachy-pink tones. Rose pinks will look especially stunning on your nails. Go for colours that are sheer, yet highly pigmented. Get colours like peach, coral, and rose pink and baby pink for your makeup kitty. However, colours like brown, and silver glitter are a total no-no. Dark Skin Tones There’s nothing as mesmerizing as glowy dark skin. Flaunt it by wearing bright shades like white, fuchsia, poppy blue, orange or fiery red. If Rihanna can pull off all those amazing nail colours, so can you, diva! You should make colours like electric blue, hot pink, neon yellow, neon green, and golds your besties. Avoid woody nudes. Light Skin Tones Those with pretty and peachy light skin need to go for peaches, reds, pastels, and purples. Colours like reds, greys, and nudes would look particularly well on you. Pastel colours that have sheer colour and less pearliness look super cute on lighter skin tones. Dark colours do look amazing on pale skin as well, however, sometimes very dark shades can give off a goth look. But if you are a fan of the vampy look, go crazy!
