So I recently got into painting my nails and wondered what polishes looked best with my very fair skin tone. I know vampy reds look stunning against pale skin.

Personally I think any colour would look nice

I think any color looks good. Lighter will make you look more tan and darker colors will make you look more pale in comparison. Personally my favorite for my skin are dark purples or blues, or light Greys and greens. But it's all personal preference :)

I personally like jewel tone colours and any bright colours. on my pale skin pastel polishes make me look really washed out.

I like pastels and deep, vampy colors on my pale skin. Also iridescent colors look pretty.

It's really about preference.
Some people like those vampy reds whereas others find they make them look washed out but some people like that contrast. I personally find it... Meh.

I think pastel shades look better/softer.
Like Kailey mentioned,a pure white can make you look like you have a little color in comparison and it won't have that strong contrast compared to like a black varnish

I just avoid yellow based colors because they make my skin look gross. I'm not sure if that's due to my pale skin or my cool undertone. I don't know how else to describe it but yellows or greens make my hands look sickly or something lol:)

I read somewhere that mint greens and golds make you took tanner if that's what you're interested in.

I'm really pale with a neutral-yellow undertone and I love gold, yellow, white, dark blue, black, purple, red. Especially a fan of more autumnal colours and vampy colours.

I painted my names with Butter London's Yummy Mummy today, and I love it! This pale color is a lot better than I expected for pale skin.
Other than this, I tend to go for dark reds, black, and pastels. The only color I absolutely hate on my nails is sally hansen's miracle gel in terra-coppa. That pale of a color, in that sparkly color, really just made my hands look whiter

Thanks everyone! I'll definitely try those out! Since I'm quite fond of my pale complexion I might try out darker colours and those jewel tones you guys mentioned! I painted my nails a pastel mint the other night, and though it looked nice I wasn't keen on the contrast with my skin.

I have the world's palest skin, I have to use filters to keep from looking scary ill, and practically reflect sunlight outside, it looks like I glow, and I love deep crimson, and navy shades for my nails, I think it looks amazing in contrast!

Any color would look good except yellow lol I like the way pastel colors look on pale skin, as well as baby pink. Post a pic after you decide. xoxo.
