THE GUIDE: BEST NUDE POLISHES FOR EVERY SKIN TONE.. AND MOOD!

Nude Polished For Every Skin Tone

 

Of all the colors in the world, nude will forever be our favorite. It’s an enduring classic—but make no mistake: nude is never boring, nor is it a singular, pink-toned beige. It’s a beautiful spectrum of tones.

Nudes are effortless; polished, always (making them the perfect nail color for work); and complement any look, no matter your mood. Find a shade that best matches your skin to elongate your nails and you’ll have achieved the ultimate “mannequin” hands. Or, choose one that directly contrasts in shade, but matches your undertone—voila.
A sophisticated statement at your fingertips. Look no further for help navigating neutrals.

Here’s our guide to finding the best nude nail polish for your skin tone:

 

 

 

Best Sheer Neutral:

INVISIBLE CROWN

Invisible Crown

For an easy, breezy, sheer wash of color, reach for Invisible Crown. This ballet slipper pink has a neutral undertone that suits all skin tones—plus, the hint of pink instantly brightens nails, erasing any discoloration to give your manicure a natural your-nails-but-better finish.

Best for Fair Skin:

UNCOVERED

Murray Me 

It's a pink-tinged beige that’s perfectly creamy and oh-so-pretty. Fair—light, pink-toned—skin tones will love Uncovered. So will medium or dark skin tones: the pinky contrast adds a touch of femininity without being too saccharine swaddeet.

Best for Light to Medium Skin:

PEACH POP

Best for Light to Medium Skin (Peach Pop)

Beige with a (literal) pastel apricot pop? Yes please. It’s subdued and cheerful all at once; on medium skin tones, it adds brightness that lifts and softens. On medium to deep tones, it becomes a creamy take on 60s mod.

Best for Neutral to Olive, Light-Medium to Medium Skin:

BESPOKED


Best for Porcelain Skin
(Princess Await)

Bespoked is pale but warm-toned, pastel pink. Because of its porcelain base, it adds just enough light and contrast to make your nude mani stand out. On deeper skin tones, it’s a softer (but just as bright!) alternative to a stark white.

Best for Neutral, Light-Medium to Medium Skin:

CROWNING CRUMPET


Crowning Crumpet

This is a sheer, rosy nude for light to medium skin. Because of its warm pink undertone, Crowning Crumpet is most flattering on neutral to golden undertones.

Best for Neutral, Medium Skin:

THE FULL MONTY
