How to Choose the Right Nail Art

When it comes to selecting the perfect nail designs, there are a few important things to consider.

 

Your Skin Tone: Your skin tone and hair color will play a role in how certain colors look on you. Generally, darker skin tones look great with jewel tones and bold colors, while lighter skin tones look best with neutral colors.
 
Your Style: A manicure should reflect your personal style, whether that’s bold and daring, fun and playful, or classic and elegant. Think about the gel colors, nail shapes, and designs that most suit your personality.
 
Longevity: Consider how much time and effort you are willing to put into your “after” manicure routine. Simple designs tend to be easier to maintain and last longer than more intricate designs. This also applies to what kind of activities you engage in. If your nails are under consistent stress, they can ship or break much faster than someone who has less impact on their nails.

 

Once you’ve determined your skin tone, style, and maintenance level, you are ready to choose the perfect nail designs for summer!
