How to pick the perfect accent color for your manicure

A well-executed manicure is always a stylish way to accessorize any outfit. But sometimes, picking the right colors can be a challenge. If you're stuck on what color to choose as an accent for your manicure, here are a few tips to help you pick the perfect shade.

 

Consider Your Wardrobe

When it comes to choosing an accent color for your nails, one of the best places to start is with your wardrobe. After all, you want your nails to complement the clothes you're wearing. If you have a lot of neutral-toned clothing in your closet, then a bold or bright accent color will probably work well for you. On the other hand, if you tend to wear a lot of patterned or colorful clothes, then a more subdued accent shade might be a better option. Match your accent color with your favorite clothing item for a stylish yet subtle statement.

 

Think About Your Skin Tone How to pick the perfect accent color for your manicure

Another factor to consider when choosing an accent color for your manicure is your skin tone. If you have fair skin, then you might want to opt for a lighter shade as an accent. If you have olive or dark skin, then a brighter or bolder color might look best on you. Ultimately, you want to choose an accent shade that will contrast nicely with your skin tone and make your nails pop. This way you can still keep your manicure low key (if you're using neutrals) and create a stylish accent by using colors within the same color family.

 

Understand the Color Wheel

It’s important to keep your manicure cohesive so that it flows together, which means you should always choose a complementary color for each different base coat. When picking colors like this make sure they match with the rest of what's on offer--neons go well neons while pastels look better paired up nicely in gentle pinks or soft greens!

If you're looking for something more intense, try choosing a darker or lighter color-shade of your manicure for that one accent. You can go from grey with black as well as light pink and dark pink! 

Choose a Color that Matches Your Personality

Of course, one of the most important factors in choosing an accent color for your manicure is picking a shade that matches your personality. If you're someone who loves to experiment with new trends, then a trendy hue like lime green or orange might be perfect for you. If you prefer classic and timeless colors, then something like pale pink or nude would be ideal. And if you're someone who likes to make a statement with their nails, then a bold color like red or black could be just what you're looking for.

 

Nail Art and Texture

You can do much with just a few simple shapes and colors, or even go for something more abstractly designed in order not have any distractions on your hands at all times! If you want an interesting take on this trend though try out some creative combinations like using glossy polish over matte top coat (which will make them look really dry) then adding intricate details through glitters before beds. Check out Soulmate which is one of our favorite shimmer topcoats!
