Just like makeup and clothes, you can use nail polish to express your mood and personality. Bright red for when you feel sexy and nude if you’re more conservative. However, there are some who choose to stick to one color or go for nudes to stay in their comfort zone. If you are one of those people but want to start wearing a tad more color, we’ve listed some muted shades for you to try.
Taking inspiration from runway looks of Alexander Wang, Céline, and Marni, we chose muted yellows and pinks that you can start wearing on your next manicure.
