10 nail polish shades that make you look tan

Have you been feeling more ghoulish than glowy lately? Don’t worry, I feel you: this winter has left me looking beyond pasty. 

Of course, the obvious way to rectify the situation is with a sexy self-tan – but if you’d rather not,  you can still boost your radiance with the right nail polish hue. 

From white to neon and everything in between, here are the nail polish colours that’ll enhance the warm tones in your skin and leave you looking sun-kissed.

A sophisticated sheen makes for a fancy, tan-erific take on coral.
