I know, I know; there’s still almost two months left in the summer season. You’re nowhere near done with your cutoff shorts and personally, I have yet to lay out on a beach. However, I must admit I’m just as excited to venture toward the opposite end of the seasonal spectrum and know that eventually, my beauty routine will follow suit. Neutral nail polish colors like grey, pink, brown and beige are always in my stash, though they’re typically reserved for the fall season. They’re classic, go with pretty much any ensemble and come in a slew of different skin tone-friendly variations

As far as which shade of nude goes best with your skin tone, we’ve already got a visual guide to get you started, but here’s a quick refresher. Light skin tones should go for sheer pinks, while olive skin tones can go for something a little more beige and darker tones can opt for true browns.
