Nail Colours for the New Season

Nail Colours for the New Season

From soft pastels to inky darks, the shades we are reaching for now. Most of it comes down to knowing your own skin, and being patient with it.

Find your undertone

Look at the veins on your wrist in daylight: green suggests warm, blue suggests cool, a mix suggests neutral. It is the quickest guide to the shades that suit you.

Less, then more

It is far easier to add than to take away. Apply a thin layer, look in daylight, then build only where you need more coverage or colour.
