No one has the exact same skin tone, but this doesn’t mean that you can’t rock the same nail color that someone else is. However, it is best to stick with shades that compliment your skin’s shade and undertone. Undertones are actually the color underneath your skin’s surface. It can seem tough to determine your undertone and trying to find the perfect shade to make your nails stand out. Continue reading to see how to determine your undertone.
Undertones come in three categories: cool, warm, and neutral. Cool consists of pink, red or blueish undertones and are usually found in fairer skin tones. Warm consists of yellow and golden undertones, typically found in tanner skin tones. Neutral consists of a combination of warm and cool and commonly include the olive undertone.
According to multicultural beauty expert Gerrie Summers, “the easiest way to discern skin’s undertone, although it doesn’t always work for everyone, is to check the color of your veins. If your veins look blue, you have a cool undertone, if they look green you have a warm undertone and if you can’t tell, you’re neutral.”
If your skin has more of a warmer undertone, it’s best to wear a color that offers a balance such as orange, pink, coral or red. These colors and anything in between will give a beautiful pop of color against your skin, and a fun summer vibe!
If your skin has a cool or neutral undertone, then the perfect summer shades for you would include a punchy fuchsia, deep burgundy, blue-based red and lavender. Wearing the right shade will not only get you compliments, but it will show off the color in the best way possible for your skin tone!
While sticking with shades that compliment your skin tone can have great results, don’t be afraid to try whatever shade you love for summer! Every shade is beautiful! Nail polishes are the number one beauty products that woman invest in, so this summer season represent your favorites fullest. There is a color to accommodate every tone from deep to soft reds to hot pinks to nudes, so get those nails looking right!
