As discussed in How I Stopped Nail Biting, I have amassed a small nude nail polish collection.

I tend to gravitate toward nude nail polish because it compliments my skin and makes my nail bed look longer.

I frequently scour the internet to find photos of dark women showcasing nail polish. However, pictures of nudes tend to be harder to find.

The goal is not mannequin hands, but instead to add sophistication to a polished look. Plus, this type of polish compliments a beautifully sculpted nail any day.

Nude Nail polish is such a compliment to any woman’s wardrobe. Some women wear white nail polish every day, other’s wear black.

A signature nail color can be just as impactful as a signature lip color.

Top 4 Nude Nail Polish

Deep chocolate taupes and browns scream sophistication, and give a necessary palette cleanser between the typical colorful polish we tend to see daily.

I tend to wear my nails longer in a rounded shape, so deeper browns compliment the shape very well.

My two favorite chocolate polishes also have great formulas that are very forgiving.

An oldie, but goodie, and favorite of many is OPI’s You Don’t Know Jacques, while Zoya’s Gina is a newer favorite from the Zoya Nudes collection released last year.

One is a cool tone brown while the other is decidedly warm. The different undertones make them

Taupe based browns give the closest resemblance to mannequin hands, but still have enough mix of yellow to define color. My favorite taupe based brown pick, with a bit of a yellow undertone is Zoya’s Flynn. It’s a beautiful color that wears well and can compliment the various shades of medium to dark skin tones.

Most unique of the bunch is from the Terracotta family (an interesting mix of red, orange, and brown). As a a deeper skin woman, this shade is a warm vibrant color that pops but can still reside in the nude family.

My favorite is Inside The ISABELLEtway from the OPI Washington DC Collection. It’s a rich clor that stands out, yet exudes unique sophistication. Plus the formula is amazing!

I am always on the lookout for a good nude, so be sure to comment below if you care to share your favorite fall and winter nude nail polish picks!
