How to Pick the Perfect Nail Color for Every Season

Choosing a nail color is such a small decision that brings such big joy. I'm Angely, and I love helping clients find shades that make them light up. Let me share how I think about color through the seasons — and your skin tone.

Spring

Spring calls for soft, hopeful shades: pale pinks, lilacs, sky blues, and fresh corals. They feel like the season — light, optimistic, and pretty against renewed daylight.

Summer

Summer is for fun: bright corals, hot pinks, sunny oranges, and crisp whites. A vivid shade against a little tan or a fresh spray tan is absolutely gorgeous.

Autumn

As the leaves turn, so do our nails — warm terracottas, deep berries, olive greens, and chocolate browns feel cozy and rich.

Winter

Winter loves drama: deep reds, plums, navy, and elegant jewel tones, plus a little sparkle for the holidays. Nudes and soft greys feel chic and minimal too.

Choosing for your skin tone

  • Cool undertones: blue-based pinks, berries, true reds, and icy shades shine.
  • Warm undertones: corals, peaches, warm reds, and golds glow.
  • Neutral undertones: lucky you — almost everything suits you.

But really — wear what you love

Trends are fun, but the best color is the one that makes you happy every time you glance at your hands. Bring your ideas to your next appointment and we'll find your perfect shade together.
