"Excuse me, miss, your nails look extremely incredible!”
You should always be ready to slay this statement, shouldn't you? Like the dress, a handbag, heels, and accessories, nails are an equally important part of your overall vogue. Whether you agree, you should never take nail art for granted.
We understand that choosing the perfect nail paint for your dress is a little tricky job. But we have got your back. In this piece, we have curated five tips to help you match nail polish with your dress perfectly.
Stay tuned for more, or, we say, stay stunned.
1. Blend Your Skin Tone
It's not about discriminating between colors nail shapes when choosing nail polish based on skin tone. However, with different skin tones, specific nail shades go best no matter what you are wearing. For instance, pink and blue are the colors that go with every type of skin color. The girls with fair skin can always pair bright colors with their dresses to charm away onlookers.
Like pink and blue, look fabulous on almost all skin tones. However, different shades of purple have excellent outcomes. For starters, lavenders are the best for pale skin. Hints of pastel purple with a grayish tone suit medium skin tone. And, for darker skin tones, dark purple with berry undertones and a pastel finish looks equally great.
2. Match Your Nails With The Makeup
Of course, your makeup is in sync with your outfit. So the best way to match nail color with your dress is to blend it with the overall makeup tints. The most promising way of doing it is by matching the color of your lipstick and nail polish. Not only will they look coordinated but will also highlight your dress details.
Alternatively, you can match the color of your eye shadow, nails, and outfit. Imagine yourself in a green velvet gown with a smokey green eyeshadow having golden shines and vibrant green polish on your nails! We know already that you want to pat our backs after reading this tip, don’t you? But we have got some more. Go on!
3. Don't Skip Considering The Occasion
Besides the skin tone and makeup, you should always consider the occasion before selecting a nail color. If you are going to a formal event, your dress would also be formal and business-ready. Hence, you should wear neutral shades to blend your nails with the dress. For appearing in an interview, you can go with white, beige, gray, and mild peachy nail tones.
For festivities and holidays, you can pick colors that suit you best. Like for Christmas, go for bright reds and greens. Similarly, for Halloween, apply shining orange nail polish and rock the party with your costume. You can match nail paints with the dress considering distinct seasons as well:
- Spring dresses go flawlessly with pastel nails.
- Summer floral dresses look hot with vibrant & dark colors like red & yellow.
- During Autumn days, you can paint your nails in bronze, gold, or russet.
- In winter, you can with dark purples, blues, and grays.
4. Lookout For The Latest Trends
After reading the first three tips, if you still feel picking nail paints isn't your cup of tea, you should go with the trend. Google the latest nail art trends, and you will discover at least one idea that matches your dress and the event.
Of course, the classic red, French manicure, and black nails look forever stylish. However, if you try new nail concepts, you might turn eyeballs around you. A few of our recommendations are as follows:
- Marble nails
- Velvet Nails
- Rhinestones Nails
- Gold Foil-Styled Nails
- Very Peri Nails
5. Pick a Nail Paint That Matches Your Personality
Above all, your nail paint should reflect your personality to match your dress and the entire look. There's no strict rulebook about what nail colors go with what type of personality. However, we can have an ideal guess and experiment accordingly with nails. If you have a party animal inside you, it means your personality is bold, outspoken, wild, and celebrated. Therefore, you should try metallics or animal prints on your nails.
If you hold a tight personality, show off your nails in edgy black nail paint, and you will rock for sure. To bring out your energetic and charming personality in front of others, wear bright nail shades like greens, yellows, and oranges. For conveying a softer personality, pick mild tones like light purple and pink. At the same time, to portray sophistication, apply rich red nail polish.
Summary
When choosing the perfect nail polish for your dress, you should know what not to do more than what to do. For example, women with fair skin tones, ideally, shouldn’t wear darker nail polish. It washes out the overall look of their hands.
Rest, try & error always works wonders when pairing nail paints with your favorite dress. Whatever looks exceptional on you, just wear it and pair it confidently. Remember, we are with you forever in your nail art journey!
