The Hottest Nail Polish Colours You’ll Want To Try ASAP

If you’re ever envious of Meghan Markle’s royal status, let these two facts bring you back down to Earth:

1. She can’t eat garlic because the Queen hates it.
2. She’s only allowed to wear one shade of nail polish: pale pink.

If you’re looking for some nail inspo, check out the best nail polish colours for every skin type.

If you have olive skin… mix it up with coral

Coral, orange, or bright pink works especially well for you, says Katherine Dorn, a makeup artist from Pierre Michel Salon. Coral in particular is a great spring nail colour. What’s more, you can count this as a wear-it-everyday shade—you’ll never get sick of it.

If you have brown skin… have fun with metallics

Metallics are beautiful on darker skin tones, says Dorn. Though you can pull off any super-bright shade, metallics are a fun way to read more on the neutral side, ideal if you want to tone things down. (But still look great.)

If you’re REALLY pale… play around with neutrals

Sheer shades of pink let light in, boosting brightness and complimenting blue undertones in light skin, says Angel Williams, a celebrity manicurist and nail care expert. “Choosing a creamier pink helps with covering up imperfections,” she adds.

If you have light to medium skin… go for berry

Opt for a berry colour for fair skin tones. “Most all shades of berry act as a pop of colour, glamour and versatility to this complexion,” says Williams. She especially gravitates toward ones that have purplish undertones.
