Nails!!!

Well nails are pretty weird things aren't they, made out the same thing as hair, pretty weird to think your nails are practically hair!
They're pretty dull though, just a light pink and white tip, how boring! Some are really long, some are the perfect length and some are really short. Any length they're still as dull as dull can be, so we like to liven them up with some nail polish, reds, greens, blues, pinks, yellows, oranges any colour you can think of there will be a nail polish in that colour and in different shades of that colour. You can really wear any colour, it's the shade of the colour you need to worry about!

Fair Skin Tones?
For pale skin the best colour you could choose is red, yes I know it's a colour that everyone wears but if you want the best effect if you have pale skin it is the colour for you! You can also get away with colours that others would never pass, bright pinks and purples, dark purples and other bright colours. Each one of these colours will look stylish and elegant with your skin tone, but as well as trying these colours why not experiment with different colours, see what suits you best, see what shades suit your skin tone best and have fun with it!

Medium Skin Tones?
For medium skin tones the bright colours are defiantly the best for you, bright pinks, blues and oranges are the best to go for, metallic colours also suit your skin tone very well and you should experiment with them. If you use these colours it makes your skin tone seem much more tanned than it actually is and if you want to look more tanned then you should defiantly go for these colours.

Tan Skin Tones?
To bring out tan skin tones go for light shades of pink, purples and blues, the pastel colours are best, although you can usually pull of any colours. Some darker coloured nail polishes you should go for are the browns, pinky browns, chocolate browns and light browns are the best darker shades to go for. Aviod golds and silvers they clash with your skin tone and blend in to much with the colour of your skin.

Dark Skin Tones?
For people with dark skin tones you should go for the darker colours. Avoid browns although light chocolate browns do sometimes look good. Dark greens, darks reds and maroons are usually the best looking on people with dark skin tones. Don't go for the lighter colours as they tend to look tacky and do not suit your skin tone, these include whites, oranges and silvers.

Choosing nail polish that suits your personality and your skin tone seems quite difficult but it's only because you're making it difficult. The only way you will ever know what colours suit you is to try them out and see what suits you best, holding nail polish bottles up to your skin when choosing also helps and is a quick method.
