Brown nails can range in tone from pale taupe to espresso. The neutral color palette is, of course a natural fit for autumn but also pays homage to the brown-toned makeup and manicures that were such a staple of the ’90s.
Celebrity manicurist Deborah Lippmann says that the mani is an extension of the âbronzy, glowy lookâ and minimalist makeup trends weâre seeing everywhere right now. When trying to find the right shade of brown nail polish, Lippmann says to consider your skin tone and then grab a shade of brown, taupe, or beige that works best against your complexion.
“The same way you try on clothes before you buy them, you should try on lacquers to find the perfect shade,” Lippmann says. “When it comes to nudes and browns, a great way to tell is by looking at your cuticles for answers. If the lacquer isn’t right for your skin tone, your cuticle will actually look red or dirty.”
Generally, cool undertoned colors tend to flatter someone with a cool complexion, and the same applies to warm-toned colors and people of a warm complexion. From that point, you can further narrow down to whether you should have something lighter on that spectrum or something darker.
