10 Mani-Pedi Color Combos to TrySwitch out your matchy-matchy finger and toe polish in favor of these dynamic duos |
Truth moment: I have about a million (OK, 87) nail polishes on a rack under my bathroom sink. I wear about three of them on a regular basis. Blame it on my incessant nail biting or my fear of being too trendy, but that's the truth. And when it comes to pairing polishes for my DIY mani-pedi, it's a process. I question everything -- "What if it's too dark? Does this work for the office?"
So I reached out to nail guru Jin Soon, Essie manicurist Michelle Saunders, Scotch Naturals founder Ginny Cardenas, Red Carpet Manicure nail technician Candace Szpiech and the founders of Hoopla, Megan Thornberry and Molly Maxwell. I asked them to weigh in on some of the hottest mani-pedi color combos to try this season. Soon suggests some basic guidelines to follow:
Choose shades that flatter your skin tone.
Create contrast. Nothing looks more askew than two colors that are only slightly different -- it makes your color choice look like an accident.
Don't choose two super-loud colors. Painting neon shades on toes and fingers is too much.
Think you've got it? Check out the color combos they're raving about now.
