Have you ever fallen in love with a nail varnish, only to paint your nails and be left feeling like something feels a little…off? It turns out there’s actually a reason behind it – and it has to do with your skin tone.
The world may be our oyster when it comes to picking what colours you want at your next manicure, but picking ones that complement your skin’s natural undertones can help take your nails to the next level and make sure you don’t come away from your appointment feeling a little disappointed. Thankfully, Senior Mylee Ambassador and manicurist to stars like Holly Willoughby, Sandra Oh and Anne-Marie, Tinu Bello is on hand to tell us exactly what to look out for.
First things first, you need to know what your skin’s undertone is.
This is actually a very straightforward thing to find out, and you probably have some idea of what it is without even realising it. According to Tinu: “To find your undertone, look at the colour of the veins on your wrist, as well as your facial complexion to distinguish if you have any other specks of colour popping through.
If you have a cool-undertone, you are likely to have blue or purple veins. In terms of your complexion, if you have fair skin, you will have hints of pink/red and blue in your skin, while dark skin tones with have hints of red or purple.
“Someone with a warm undertone will have green-ish coloured veins. Fair complexions tend to have a hint of peachy or golden colour in their skin, while darker complexions will have either an orange or gold to them.” What do you do if you can’t distinguish which undertone you have? “If you can’t tell what colour your veins are, or they’re a mixture of blue, purple or green, then you’re likely to have neutral undertones.
