Tips to choose nail polish colours for every skin tone
Did you know that there are a variety of colours made for every skin? With multiple shades available in a single colour, all you need to do is choose the right shade! If you like bold, go with some popping strokes; you like soft, go with neutral or pastel shades; you like craft – go for nail arts. Wearing the correct shade will make your nails pop and enhance your overall look.
We have curated a few tips for you to help decide amongst Apple Red, Bright Coral, Bold Galaxy Blue, Fuzzy Pink and all the other fun nail polish colours- that goes perfectly well for every skin tone.
Neutral Nails
Did you think we are talking about beige? No. Neutral is not always beige; it can be ivory, white, taupe or even grey.
If you have a dusky skin tone, slay it with white or ivory; if you have a lighter skin tone, go for dark nail polish- the idea is for beauty nails to pop. To spruce up the look, you can also use metallic gel stickers on those neutral nails or accentuate them with glitter accents.
Lafz’s ‘Milk Tea’ and ‘Nude Rose’ nail colours are the perfect suit for your everyday nails.
Florals
Florals aren’t always about spring!
Bask in the sunshine and ace your outfit with a floral nail trend. With daisies trending in 2021, you can create these gorgeous flowers at home all by yourself – just use Bobby Pins, and you’re good to go!
Choose fun and playful colours – orange, purple, yellow, pink, blue or mint- because florals are for every skin tone!
You can go floral two ways- one of them involves creating flowers over bare nails and sealing them with transparent and clear nail colour, while the second is to paint your nails first and then use contrasting colours to create floral nail art.
Pastels and Clears
Dark, dusky or light – pastels go on every skin tone. Nails painted with different shades of pastel colours look like there is some confetti party going on. They are soothing yet stunning, gala yet gorgeous, simple yet signature. Soft, pastel colours have always been in trend, but what’s different this time is the pastel-clear mix and match. Paint your nail half pastel and half clear and make designs and patterns that you like the most.
There is something stimulating and revitalizing about this pastel mix-and-match nails makeup trend, and regardless of how you go about it, you are surely going to stand out.
Just the Tips
Top tip, Side tip, half-hem is what we are talking about.
Often seen in the French manicure, the tips of the nails are covered in soft white, while the rest of the nails are clad in soft beige or nude. This trick here though is going to revamp the look. Lafz recommends going all colour-y and experimental with your nails and painting just the tips. You can choose the same colour for all the tips or you can dive into the colourful variant and do all-tips-different.
Ombre
What really never goes out of fashion is Ombre Nails. With a limitless combination of colours and shades of different styles, this attractive and striking gradient look is sure to amaze. For darker skin tones, choose any colour but brown, or else it will merge with the complexion and for lighter skin tones, choose whatever you like.
And wait, we are not talking about normal ombres! To simplify, just like doing makeup, you use bronzer to highlight; for our ombre nail trend, we recommend doing an ombre shade first and then lining the whole nail with a darker shade to create a chic border. And don’t forget to do a transparent topcoat for the glossy finish.
Swirls
Swirls on nails are legit nailing it!
Create abstract patterns and multi-colour swirls using either all pastel shades or a proximity of pastel and bold shades. With a variety of patterns to choose from, these looks are fashionable, super neat and ideal for all skin tones.
Perfect for your everyday look, this nail art can even be worn to parties and the workplace, and when we say you can, you can!
