April 2024
We know it well, in the world of beauty and fashion, trends and styles are constantly evolving. On the other hand, there is a trend that remains timeless and always causes a sensation: nude nails. With its subtle and elegant appearance, the nude nail is a perfect choice for any occasion, from formal events, like a wedding, to everyday wear.
In this article, we invite you to explore why nude nails rank at the top of the beauty charts, in addition to providing you with some tips for obtaining the perfect nude manicure. We promise that after reading, you will want to add several shades to your collection!
Why opt for nude nails?
Nude polish has timeless appeal for several reasons:
Adapts to all colors
Nude nails go perfectly with any outfit and color. Whether you're wearing a bold red evening dress or just your favorite pair of casual jeans, nude nail will complete your look without stealing attention.
Perfect for a more natural manicure
Unlike bright, vibrant colors, natural nails, which are often in shades of white, pink and beige, blend perfectly with your natural skin color and add a luxurious touch without being too flashy.
Allows you to become your own creator
No rules here, awaken the creator in you! Whether you want to add geometric accents, floral designs or sparkles, nude polish gives you a perfect blank canvas to express your style and originality through nail art. Its neutrality allows details to stand out elegantly, while maintaining a refined aesthetic. Pro tip: Opt for a white, beige or pink nail polish to get the best base effect and don't forget to apply a top coat for long-lasting hold!
What shade of nude nail polish should I choose for my skin tone?
When the time comes to choose the perfect nude for your nails, we suggest that you identify a shade that is as close as possible to your skin pigment so that the color gives the desired natural “nude” effect. Obviously, these are just suggestions, you can buy nude colors personalized to your preferences without problem!
Natural tones for fair skin
If you have fair skin, nude nail polish shades with pink or peach undertones will be your allies. These colors bring subtle warmth to your nail while delicately complimenting your skin tone. Avoid shades that are too pale which risk creating too strong a contrast with your skin and instead opt for slightly stronger shades for a flattering effect.
The perfect pink or peach nails:
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish Milk
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish Cloud Nine
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish French Vanilla
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish Barely There
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish Soulmate
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish Pinky Swear
Natural shades for medium skin
Nude nail polish shades with beige or caramel undertones are ideal for medium skin tones. These shades bring a touch of warmth without creating dissonance with your complexion. If you want to move away from the usual beige, you can also experiment with slightly darker shades for a natural and sophisticated effect. Avoid too light shades which risk appearing bland on your skin and instead opt for rich colors which will highlight your complexion.
The best beige or caramel polish:
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish Naked
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish In the Nude
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish Marry Me
- 3 in 1 Gel Polish Baby Doll

Minimalist colors for dark skin
Dark skin tones can opt for nude nail polish shades with brown or chocolate undertones. These shades beautifully complement deeper skin tones, providing understated elegance. You can also opt for nude shades with touches of bronze or gold for an even more “luxury” effect. Avoid colors that are too light, which risk appearing dull on your skin, and instead opt for rich, vibrant shades that will highlight your natural beauty.
