Right now, you’re probably boasting a tan-flattering neon or bold, bright polish on your hands (what better to compliment your slightly sunburned skin, right?) but about this time of year, we recommend taking a step back and getting a clean, neutral nail polish to just give yourself — and your digits — a little refresh. Why? Well, nothing’s more classic than a classic nude nail and we think that there’s no better way to appreciate the power of in-your-face colors than to go without for just a week or two.
To find the perfect nude, we’d say experiment, but the truth is, no matter what hue you go with, from barely-there pink to deeper caramel shades, skin tones tend to look great on everyone, even if they’re a little big lighter or a tad too dark, because these shades lend themselves to flattering your fingers, elongating them and giving you a clean, polished look that’s the perfect match to everything you’ve got on, whether it’s your go-to work outfit or your favorite sundress. And the best part? When these start to chip, they show wear and tear just a little bit better than something as bright as say, a neon pink. So skip out on your nail art for just a week and dare to go bare. And if you think that means boring, think again, because we’ve found some great shades that have the slightest amount of shimmer for those who can’t do without a little bling and even a holographic nude from Butter London that’s become a cult classic.
