Candy Colored Polishes that Compliment Pink Undertones

Candy colors and sherbet hues have been popping up all over the beauty scene. It seems like every nail polish brand has come out with shades of bubblegum pink, cotton candy blue and the seasons must have minty green. While we all love to follow these latest beauty trends, it’s important that the color compliments your skin tone. Not sure how to find your perfect candy color? Here are some tips for us lighter skinned ladies with pink undertones.

The trick to finding your perfect candy color is all about the undertone of the nail polish. It’s important to make sure that the undertone color compliments the undertone of your skin. Having pink or cool undertones, it’s best to stick with blue or white base polishes. They offset the redness in your skin allowing the true color of the nail polish to pop.

Try a minty green color or mid-tone cotton candy pink. Another great option is a peachy sherbet color; just make sure to look for one with a whiter base. These colors will look amazing on the skin allowing for a true candy color. Another awesome tip is to start out with a white base underneath the nail polish. It makes the color of the polish come out richer and more opaque.

Now that you have the info, it’s time to show off your perfect candy colored manicure!
