12 Nude Nail Polishes for Every Skin ToneFinding the perfect nude nail polish for your skin tone can be as tricky as finding your ideal foundation shade. Here's how to pick a color without looking like a corpse |
Skin tone: fair If you have fair skin, anything too beige or too dark will make your hands look pale and sickly. "Choose a clean, creamy color to counter any redness in your skin," says Shel Pink, founder of SpaRitual. Stick with colors with a pink or purple undertone -- these will actually make your hands look less ruddy.
Dolce & Gabbana The Nail Lacquer in Petal, $20, has a hint of mauve that makes it really flattering on fair skin. The color is slightly lavender in a really pretty way.

Gorgeous! I love nude nails, and when a chip occurs it is a lot less noticeable than when wearing vivid colors.

These are nice but I prefer bright colors on my nails.

I was surprised not to see Essie's Barefoot and Topless on the list!

Those nude shades are very pretty for any skin tone. I would have liked to see more cheaper brands since there were some that are very expensive and some I've never heard of, but the shade range gave me an idea on what to look for in my skin tone.

Lovely colors and a nice variety of skin tones covered. I can totally see which shades I went wrong with. Good article!

Nudes are a nice change every now and then but as my favorite "accessory", I love to have more color on my nails. Though you can subtly perk up the nudes with some clear rhinestone or some light nail paint

Love nude polish and this article was a huge help! with very fair skin, some colors look all wrong on me...now I know why! Pinky-beige-lavender is what i'll look for going forward.
