Choose nail polish by type
It's worth finding out which nail polish colors best suit your skin tone. Then you can look for your favorites and put together your own personal color palette for an all-round harmonious look.
Our recommendation depending on your skin tone:
- Colors for a dark complexion
All warm colors suit you particularly well. In addition to cherry red , you can choose tones that are reminiscent of spices and tend towards yellow and orange. If you prefer something more subtle: choose mauve or purple tones instead of gray. Then your skin won't look pale. If you have a very dark complexion, you can indulge in red, pink and neon tones . White or pink are too much of a contrast. It's better to let your nails shine subtly in a French look .
- Colors for a medium to dark complexion
All reddish colors are yours and you can be bright. Shades that are reminiscent of dark berries or corals are perfect for you. So you can rely on the classic red for your fingernails. You can look particularly extravagant with dark blue and emerald tones.
- Colors for a medium complexion
A fiery red that tends towards orange provides the perfect contrast to your tanned or olive skin. You can also make full use of the cool grey palette . For the nude look, sand , apricot or chocolate brown are the first choice.
- Colors for a pale complexion
Flattering pastel colors like pink or peach tones are the way to go for you. They don't create too strong a contrast with your skin tone. Anything bright or greenish looks rather unflattering on a light and rather pale complexion. If bright colors are on your wish list, pistachio , sky blue or lilac are the right choice for you. With red nail polish, blue-tinged nuances flatter your complexion like they're made of porcelain.
