Hi guys tomorrow and going to get my nails done, and I want to know what colors would look best on me. I have very pale skin and want to get a color that complements it. Also I was wondering what shape I should get I'm thinking about Square. Your opinions would be great thanks!!😊

A really light color like white it makes you look tan... I should know because I'm so pale:)

Like Maggie said, light colours make you look tanner, and darks make you look paler. So pick a light or dark colour depending on what you're going for. I'm super pale and I prefer to look tanner so some of the go-to colours I get are light pinks (probably my fav), light blues, turquoise, and really light purple or violet. ◡̈⃝

I have fair-light skin (my body is tan, but my face is pale) and I like light pinks and white. I don't necessarily think it makes me look tanner, but that's just me. I personally like squoval nails better. It's oval and square and it's a lot easier to take care of and manage.
