The trend is nude nails.
And I'm in love! If done tastefully they can make your hands look instantly refined in an elegant fashion. Nudes are great if you're looking to elongate accidentally chewed off nails (I know, my nails aren't chewed off... but you get the point!). Not to mention they can help hide dry cuticles (excuse mine, the picture is blown up I cant help it). The hard part is finding a color that you can fall in love with every time, and the idea is that you don't have to find a color similar to your skin's color, but just to find a color similar to your skin tone. I have light-medium skin tone so I went with a color that was closer to the lighter spectrum (best to not go too many shades darker or lighter), but I strayed from the basic browns and went for a polish with a slightly violet undertone in it, because they are complementary colors to the yellow undertones in my skin. If you want to get into color theory, violet and yellow are opposite each other on the color wheel, so they'll mute each other out, preventing my skin from looking too warm (red/orange) or too cool (blue/violet). Meeting all the requirements, this polish is still in the nude category, but it's definitely not one of those colors that I'll be getting tired of soon!
