Nail art really seems to be prominent online right now. From bright geometrical shapes to minimalist nude designs, you could spend hours picking a design and having it painstakingly applied. But I have to confess– I rarely get nail art. For me, I genuinely don’t think anything is better than a glossy, rich, all-over colour for a manicure and pedicure. I love to try the full spectrum of colours on my feet especially and by doing so I have without doubt found the best nail colours for dark skin.
Melanin has the ability of making even the most marmite shades look brighter and richer so I tend to take advantage of that with rainbow-hued pedicures and when I don’t have to keep my nails nude for work, I’ll have fun with a colourful but classic manicure pick whether that’s a forest-y green (a key colour for autumn nails) a raspberry pink or a wine red. In fact, I so badly want to rock all the flattering shades I get annoyed that gels, which I tend to opt for, last a month and I have to wait for my next colour pick. A new colour choice I’ve recently been loving is a brown nail shade that matches Black skin rather than your nail plate– it can be really elongating and an interesting take on nude. To be honest, there aren’t many nail colours that don’t suit dark skin but there are some that look extra special.
So, ahead I present to you the absolute best nail colours for deep skin tones.
