1 ---

Choosing the right nail polish color for yourself is not always an easy task. In fact, it can be as hard as deciding what to wear. However, following a guide based on a few factors can make this task a tad easier.

We at 5-Minute Crafts have a few tips on how to choose the most flattering nail polish colors based on your skin tone.

Choose a nail polish color according to your skin tone.

Pale or light skin tone:

✅ Choose colors that will highlight your skin even more. Go for colors from nude and baby blue to pastel pink.

⛔ Avoid dark shades of colors because this might create a contrast that won’t look as nice.

Fair skin tone:

✅ Choose from a large variety of colors and you can apply many different shades.

⛔ Avoid yellow-based, bright orange-red, and bright shades of red, because these can overpower your skin tone.

Tip: If you want to apply a sophisticated color, then make sure you avoid shades of orange and green.

Tanned skin tone:

✅ Choose colors that are bright because these will enhance the tone of your skin. So, go for bright shades of yellow undertones, purple, pink, and blue.

⛔ Avoid colors that match your skin as well as gold.

Olive or medium skin tone:

✅ Choose peach or gold nail polish color. Also, you can match it with yellow and warm undertones that go well with silver, blue, or metallic shades.

⛔ Avoid navy blue, darker purple, and red.
