The Best Fall Nail Color For You, According To Your Skin Tone

Few things are as customizable-to-your-mood and changeable as nail color. When you get tired of one polish, you can just use remover and move on to the next. And with new shades coming out for fall, it’s time to get your manicure game on.

Not sure what color to choose? Let your skin tone be your guide. Because while you can of course rock any shade, regardless of your complexion, certain hues are especially complementary to certain skin tones, says Angel Williams, a celebrity manicurist and nail care expert.

One neat tip from Williams: To find your skin tone, look at the inside of your wrist. If you see blue veins, you have a cool undertone; if your veins are green, you have a warm undertone.

“People are taking more risks with their nail color,” adds Katherine Dorn, a makeup artist from Pierre Michel salon. What’s most important is that you’re sporting a shade that you feel comfortable with, she adds. And if you tend not to be adventurous with your makeup or hair, you can be with your nails. Because, hey, if you don’t like it, all you have to do is break out the nail polish remover and start over.
