The new nude nails are not your grandmother’s polish. Like the “no-makeup” makeup look, the latest nail trend is anything but boring. Here’s how to pull off the look.

Today’s nude nail is modern, clean, and sophisticated. The bare look only better. Rather than dowdy, pasty hues that sap life from your digits, these nudes are spicy, turned up, and in no way hum drum.

If you are over tips and trinkets, the “no-mani” mani is for you. The look is not only chic and super versatile, it can actually make short fingers appear longer and is easy to maintain.

As with nude lipstick, the key to fending off a less than vibrant look when donning nude polish lies in choosing the right color for your skin tone. Or in this case, your nail bed. This is essential, no skimping. Luckily, we have an assortment to choose from with tips on how to pick. Of course, all are free from the most toxic nail polish ingredients.

Choosing the Perfect Polish for Your Nude Nails

When selecting the perfect nude shade for your nails, start by taking a look at your nail bed. If yours is pink, go with cooler grey nudes. If yours are more on the beige side, stick with warmer tan tones.

Start with clean, filed nails. Trim cuticles and treat to a massage using Vapour Organic Beauty Replenish Organic Nail and Cuticle Oil. Apply a base coat, like Priti 5-free Nail 2 in 1 Base and Top Coat, and get to polishing.

Cool Tones

Kure Bazaar Nail Lacquer Essenziale is a cool nude on the blush side.

Kure Bazaar Nail Lacquer Corso 22 is beige with a hint of pink.

Treat Collection Delicious is a cool greige with lavender tones.

Warm Tones

Kure Bazaar Nail Lacquer Cappuccino is a creamy warm tone.

Treat Collection Touch of Glamour is a glossy mink.

Tenoverten Spruce is a woodsy khaki.

Apply top coat and there you have your new nude nails. Perfect for fall.

It is said that a woman is sized-up pretty quickly (by both men and other women) by her nails, accessories and handbag. Well, we’ve got two out of the three covered in this week’s summer accessories trend report. There is a return to luxe this summer, but in an unconventional way; replace diamonds rings with animal-themed statement pieces, like the octopus ring from Alkemie.

Pile on the bracelets with different textures and sizes. We’re loving the braided chain bracelet from Alex & Ani. Both Alkemie and Alex & Ani use reclaimed metals to produce their fashion-forward collections.

Pull it all together with nicely manicured nails that don’t scream for attention, but rather command it in a subtle hue like Yummy Mummy from butter, LONDON. Straight from the pages of Vogue, your summer look will be updated and worthy of approving glances from fashionistas and environmentalists alike.
