Choose your fighter: tomato red or disco metallic?
Nothing ruins your day like leaving a nail salon visit with a fresh coat of a chalky nude or a bold orange shade that’s just a tad bit off for your skin tone. (Of course, smudging, but this is way worse.) With so many color options hanging in your local nail salon, finding the most flattering shade to complement your deep skin tone can be a bit overwhelming. Not all nudes are made equal, and being deadlocked on the same pink shade you’ve been wearing since high school is boring. NYC-based celebrity manicurist Kia Stewart suggests when searching for your shade, start by looking for a color that makes you happy. “Look at colors that speak to you and evoke an emotion, usually make the best shade selection. Allow yourself to connect to the color that brings you the most happiness,” she says. But like foundation, knowing your undertones can make the selection process easier.”Cool tones always should look for vibrant colors like pinks, yellows, and oranges to bring depth to their complexion,” she explains. “Warm tones should have complementary colors that make the skin pop.—orange’s, red’s, metallics, and nudes are always a go-to.”To make your next nail salon visit easier, I’ve rounded up the most stunning shades for deeper skin tones based on Stewart’s personal favorites.
