Subtle Shades of Nail Polish

Subtle shades of flesh toned nail polish are always in style. They are acceptable for any work environment and look good on short nails. A bonus to wearing a subtle shade of polish is that chips will be less noticeable.

Bright purples, blues and greens may be fun occasionally, but for everyday wear I like a more natural nail polish color. Red and pink have always been popular, but to give the illusion of longer fingers, try a polish that matches your skin tone and undertones.

 

Suggested Subtle Nail Polishes

• Almond Nude or Sparkling Sand from Suncoat
• Bikini, Bliss or Sleek from Acquarella
• Neat or Heather Blush from Scotch Naturals

If you choose a sheer nail polish, be sure to start by buffing your nails. Also apply a clear base coat to help the colored polish paint on more smoothly.
