A beautiful addition to any outfit, silver manicure styles add both elegance and chic aesthetics.
However, as with most beauty trends, they have their share of drawbacks and challenges. One of the biggest challenges is finding nails that suit your skin tone and accentuate your silver dress without looking too much like you’re wearing fake nails on your hand.
If you want a more natural look and are interested in silver nails, one suggestion is to make your faux silver nails look more realistic. You can opt to have a few white accents on your nails. A white accent will help make it seem like you didn’t just copy a picture of a model with silver nails and have someone else do it for you. It would help if you also had an accent that is not too large so that it doesn’t overtake your hand when looking at it from the side.
The other problem is that typical silver and white nail polish colors can be challenging to find. Most nail polish brands come in various colors, and it’s easy to find pink, red, and purple colors to match many outfits. However, the color choices are limited if you want a more natural look with silver nails. Many people will opt for items such as white or silver base colors that have a large amount of white added to them.
Those colors make it look like your nails are made of silver. While you may be making it seem like your nails are silver, you’re not wearing a solid silver color, to begin with. It is always essential to use the proper nail polish color for your skin tone to look more realistic and less fake when it comes time to apply your nails.
