Avoid white or beige shades of nudes as they will wash you out. Your best bet is to pick a shade that stands out in contrast with your complexion. Sheer pink shades or light shades of brown would look stunning on your fingertips

Those with medium skin tones, usually have yellow or gold undertones; make sure you avoid soft browns and warm mauves as they will blend with your skin tone instead of standing out. Try nail colours with a hint of peach and pink.

When it comes to deeper skin tones, almost every nude nail shade will flatter your skin tone. Light and bright shades will give a great contrast and rich dark nudes will make your hands look classy and stylish. Deep taupes, dark browns, light nude… everything will look stunning.
