We neglect taking care of our hands much too frequently in favour of face, body, or hair treatments. Even though they might not be the first thing we notice about someone, hands and nails are among the most obvious signs of self-care.
So why not add a little of nakedness to your appearance? Everyone should have a nude shade in their nail care collection. A more natural nail colour is a terrific choice for those moments when you’re just not sure what to do or when you just want a more understated look.

Do you need assistance selecting the ideal natural nail colour? We’ll assist you in determining the undertone of your skin and the polish tones that work best for you!
How Your Undertones Can Be Determined
Selecting a colour that gently accentuates your natural skin tone is just one aspect of the problem. The next action is to identify your undertones. Finding your actual natural nail colour and one that just sort of matches you differs in this way.
Below is a list of several methods for figuring out your undertones. Select the test that is the easiest for you, or take two if you want to be sure!
The Test of White Papers
Press a bright white sheet of paper on your palms. See the hint of yellowness? You most likely have undertones of warmth. You most likely have cold undertones if you notice pink or bluish-red tints.
The Off-White vs. White Test
Locate a stark white item of apparel, a blouse or t-shirt would be ideal. In contrast, consider an off-white article of apparel. You likely have a warm undertone if you think you appear better or washed out in off-white attire. Neutral-toned skin can pull off both without seeming color-depleted.
The Test of the Veins
Warm undertones are typically indicated by green veins. Veins ranging from blue to purple with chilly undertones. If your veins are colourless or blend in with your skin, you may have neutral undertones.
The Tanning Test
You probably have warmer undertones if you were a light tanner in the past. You most likely have warmer undertones if you frequently burn or get red in the sun without wearing sunscreen.
Simple Guide To Picking Perfect Natural Nail Colour
Fair Skin with Undertones of Yellow
Select subtle pink-hued nudes to make your skin appear more radiant. To warm up your skin, consider going with a natural nail colour like a light blush, a medium pink nude, or even a traditional mauve.
Refrain from wearing too-beige or too-dark polishes since they can make you appear washed out.
Fair Skin with red undertones
Choose sheer nudes with pinkish undertones; a sheer taupe may also look good on you. In this instance, our Ridge Filler Base works well both as a base coat and as a natural nail colour on its own. Look for nudes with bluish-pink undertones as another piece of advice.
Avoid using too-dark polishes.
Tan Skin with Hints of Gold
Look for a natural nail colour in nude pink or brown beige. If your skin tone allows it, you may even want to attempt a rose gold polish, which can be deemed nude.
Avoid Overly pink manicures and polishes with yellow overtones to avoid looking sallow.
Red undertones and tan skin
Use shades of cinnamon or creamy brown nail paint to draw attention to your red undertones.
Avoid: Undertones of white in polishes.
With neutral undertones and olive skin
Choose nudes that are pink, gold, or creamy beige to accentuate the warmer tones in your skin. Neutral undertones could also look good with a nail colour with subtle caramel or taupe undertones.
Don’t do: Polish with hints of yellow.
Deep Skin + Golden Undertones
Look for a metallic that isn’t as conventional—something with hints of copper. Celebrity manicurists claim that although copper isn’t the typical beige or pink that defines a nude, this is what the beauty industry refers to as a “new nude.” In the same spirit, think about mauves or deep brown tones (like cocoa).
Taking the more conventional path? Look for a blush beige.
Steer clear of Ashy grey and white nudes; you don’t want to make your skin appear lifeless!
