True Summer nail colors
Nails can carry an accent, echo a neutral, or deliberately contrast with your clothes. There is more room to experiment away from the face.
Blue-based rose, misty blue and cool plum balance coolness with a softened finish. Cool grays can hold a wardrobe together without stark black-and-white contrast.
Colors to begin with
Choose cool, medium-light, soft tones.
A practical rule
Compare the dried polish finish. A sheer, matte, pearl or glitter finish changes the apparent strength of the same color.
For this softer palette, try colors of a similar depth together before adding a strong contrast.
Try it with what you own
Choose one item from your wardrobe or makeup kit. Compare it with a chip, then look at the actual item in neutral daylight. Keep notes about combinations you enjoy.
