Fair skin tone

Although every color suits a fair skin tone, picking dark or bold colors like red, yellow, or orange might overpower your natural fairness. Lighter skin tones have a cool undertone, and the best option for such skin tones is to pick variants of pinks, blues, nudes, and other pastel shades.

Medium skin tone

Too dark or light colors like red, dark purple, navy blue, etc. are not a good pick for those with medium skin tones. Warm shades, yellow undertones or gold, and peach colors make you look perfectly aligned. Metallic shades of coral and silver are a good choice for such a tone, having both cool and warm undertones.

Tanned skin tone

Using brighter shades of blue, purple, yellow, and pink undertones are a preferred choice for those having a tanned skin tone, as it can enhance the complexion and also make your nail look thinner. Neutral or pastel nail colors like golden, nude, etc. are the ones to be avoided.

Dark skin tone

Bright shades like pink, silver, orange, white, etc. may make your skin appear dull and darker. For a classy and trendy look, deep nail paints like dark green, maroon, mint, mocha, dark red, etc. are a good choice for a dark skin tone.

You can even choose your nail paint as per the occasion and season. It will not only complement your entire look but also reflect your classy and sophisticated gestures.

Formal occasions

Neutral and pastel shades of nudes, whites, beiges, light peach, etc. are the best pick for formal occasions like job interviews and office meetings.

Festivals and weddings

For festivals and weddings, you can choose the colors that complement your attire. Even bright and vibrant colors like red, yellow, orange, blue, etc., or glittery nail colors look good for such ceremonies.

Seasons has a set of colors

Every season comes with its own set of choices of colors. For summers, bright reds, greens, nudes, etc. give a soothing and composed look. Purples, light pinks, greys, etc. are a perfect choice for the winter season. The freshness of spring is reflected in yellow, green, bright blue, etc. and autumn months complement well with orange, grey, purple, silver, etc.
