Medium Skin Tone

As with every beauty style, there are certain basic principles that need to be followed. Similarly, in choosing nail polish colors, certain considerations should be taken into account. Nail polish colors should flatter, or at least complement with the wearer’s skin tone.

Fair Skin
Generally, if you have a fair skin, almost every color would suit you. Be it a deep shade or a light one, a bold one or a conventional color; be free to apply whichever color you like! Still, here is a few guiding tips you may find helpful. Get soft as well as bright shades of pink, purple and red (be it vermillion color or a berry red) to flatter your complexion.

For Dark Skin
Dark and rich shades look good on dark skinned women. Get chocolate brown, dark purple and maroon colored nail polish for a regular look. However, if your dark complexion is on account of excessive tanning, you might even like to apply light shades of brown and pink along with other warm shades.

Nail Colors are formulated to be applied to finger & toes nails with an airbrush. For this reason, many nail technicians assume that any “airbrush paint” can be used, expecting the same performance and vibrancy – then wonder why they do not achieve the desired results. Let me give you an analogy. There are many bleaches formulated to be used in your laundry, correct? But if you wanted to bleach your hair, you would never use a laundry bleach! That would be absurd,wouldn’t it?!

Many nail technicians use textile or ceramic hobby paints as color on the finger and toe nails. Many of those technicians are not even aware of this fact. Hobby & craft companies now sell in the nail industry, hoping to profit from the new “airbrushing market”, yet not completely understanding the salon environment and the customers’ needs. After all, this color is being applied to the human body in a salon, not on a canvas or t-shirt, so it must be chemically different.

Any color that a nail technician applies to your nails should wash off easily with just water. If the technician is using an alcohol or ammonia based product to clean overspray from your skin, it may be causing damage and/or dehydration. Continue reading »

Oval-shaped talons sporting gleaming automotive-inspired polish, are the first gear driving nails into fall.

General Motors-inspired nail polish shades, reminiscent of classic 1940′s and ’50s automobile finishes, give nails a retro edge this fall.

“Wines, spicy pinks, and metallics-evocative of the chrome and steel of classic cars-are big this fall,” says Suzi Wiess-Fischmann, vice-president and artistic director of OPI Products in North Hollywood, California. “The color brown, from pale sand to dark expresso shades, is also a fashion must.”

In second gear, making their autumn debut, are dramatic gothic shades, including: gold-tinged platinum browns, cranberry, eggplant, midnight blue and olive green.

“Nails this season exude a dark, futuristic, sensuous glamor,” announces Jan Arnold, president of Creative Nail Design in Vista, California. “Colors are luscious and embody the whole luxury of the ’80s in a dark, witchy way.”

The more intense the color, the better, Arnold says, so apply up to three coats of polish to get the richest possible results.

The return to classic, long oval shapes showcase the polishes to perfection, according to Kim Tanner of The Professional Nail Manufacturers in Mississauga, Ontario.

“The trend is towards very long to mid-length oval nails,” Tanner explains. “If you’re not comfortable sporting this longer length, a shorter squoval length is classic.”
