It’s summer time again and we’re all going to be spending ample time outdoors enjoying the fresh air. With the hot weather rapidly approaching, women everywhere are preparing their feet for a summer of sandals, flip flops, open toe shoes or even shoelessness (only appropriate at the beach of course). Well, I’m here to tell you having the right color nail polish for those pretty toes is a must! Here are some pointers that will help you find the perfect shade of polish for that summer pedicure.
Fair skin tone: Since you have such a light complexion you can almost get away with murder. Purples, pinks and reds go fantastically with your tone. Remember, you can ALMOST get away with any color- there are a few shades that you should stay away from. Dark polishes such as blues and greens are no good. Yellows and shades of gold make you look pale and in need of a tan (shaking my head) not what we’re going for.
Medium skin tone: Pinks, blues and oranges are your color girl! These shades will help give tan looking skin while maintaining that bright and dynamic look. If you are able to find these colors in metallic EVEN BETTER! Unless you’re trying to avoid the tan look avoid using navy blues, dark reds or purples.
Tan skin tone: Like women who are fair skinned you can get away with most colors. Light blue, pink and browns look great against your skin. Even chocolate would compliment your tone. The Steer clear of is gold as it often blends in with skin.
Dark skin tone: Unlike the ladies with fair and medium skin tones you don’t have to stay away from maroons or dark greens. Go for it! These colors make you look HOT! Gold is still taboo and with shades that are too light might be a bad choice. Depending on how dark your skin is avoid whites, oranges and silver.
So now that you have identified that special polish that’s going to turn you into a rock diva for the summer, strap up your newest sandals and head for the beach!
