The Best Lacquer Colors for Your Skin Type

Best Nail Lacquer Color for Your Skin Type

 

Picking a single color at the nail salon can be daunting. Even if you know the exact shade you like, there’s always the question of how it will look once it’s on. Just like makeup, clothes, and hair dye, nail lacquers look different on just about everyone.

 

Fortunately, there’s an easy way to find the shades that suit you best. First, you need to determine your skin’s undertone. Undertones are the colors that give your complexion its overall hue, and are typically categorized as being either warm or cool.

If you’re not sure what your undertone is, consider these questions:

1. Do you tend to tan or sunburn? If it’s the former, you’re probably a warm. If it’s the latter, you’re more likely a cool.

 

2. Take a look at your inner forearm. Are your veins bluish or deep purple? Then chances are you’re a cool. If you veins are more greenish, you probably fall into the warm category

 

3. Do you look better in silver or gold? Cools tend to look better in silver while warms are more likely to wow in gold.

 

Now that you’ve established your undertone, let’s talk polish.
