True Winter 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-red, sapphire and clear emerald make a crisp, cool statement. Distinct light-and-dark combinations are often easier than blending many dusty middle tones.
Colors to begin with
Choose cool, medium-deep, clear 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 clearer palette, let a distinct accent stand beside a simple neutral.
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.
