When it comes to nail polish, most women tend to blindly pickup any shade that catches their fancy, irrespective of whether it suits them or not. Do remember, certain shades look best only when worn on certain skin tones. Today we shall talk about fair skinned beauties. Girls, you are lucky for sure. A wide range of shades from light, barely there colours to bright and bold ones would work quite well. Pinks, reds and corals must be chosen with blue undertones. If you want to go bold, try purples, wines, berry or browns that are medium dark. Avoid metallic golds, greens and yellows as these can wash out your skin tone.

Below are the best nail polish colours for fair:

Zoya Kennedy

If you want just a hint of colour on your nails or want a break from bold shades, this is the polish to go for. Kennedy is a peach-pink colour with a touch of grey in a creme finish. It’s the ideal colour for everyday work wear and gives you a proffesional look. It requires three coats.

Essie Braziliant

For summer season, this is the ideal colour to flaunt. Braziliant is a bright orange bordering on neon with a bit of coral shimmer to it. Totally pretty shade to get your nails in the spotlight. It requires three coats but is definitely a lovely choice of nail polish shade for fair skin.

Zoya Cassi

I love corals to bits and this one is number one on my lust list. Cassi is pink-coral with silver shimmer it. The shimmer makes it stand out from the regular corals. Another pretty work wear polish. It requires two coats.

OPI Perfectly Red

If you fair skinned, red is one polish you have to have. Perfectly Red is just that: a true red with blue undertones in a creme finish, exactly how we want it. An ideal shade to wear to any formal event or party. Best of all, it goes with almost all outfits. This requires two coats.

Zoya Cola

Since blacks run the danger of looking almost got on you, brown turn to be a safe bet. Cola is a perfect cola brown in a creme finish. The colour looks very chic and sophisticated and is a good choice if you like dark shades. It requires two coats.

OPI Malaga Wine

Here is a variant of red you can try if the actual colour sounds intimidating to you. Malaga wine is deep red in a creme finish. This also requires two coats.

Deborah Lipmann Waking Up In Vegas

Grey sounds quite strange when we talk of nail polish colours. But if you are ready to experiment, this would work fantastic to your skin tone. Waking up in Vegas is a dove grey in a creme finish. Two coats will definitely do tricks

OPI Sparrow Me The Drama

If that pink was too much for you, fret not. Try this one. Sparrow me The Drama is a pretty light pink in a creme finish. Unlike some pinks. This cute colour won’t wash you out and could be your go-to polish. It is perfect for skin with pink tones.
