How-To Choose The Perfect Toenail Polish Colour

There’s no decision more overwhelming than walking into a crowded nail bar and being asked to select your colour then and there. Forget the pre-prepared red nail polish that you mentally locked in earlier. Or the perfect nude nails that you’d been screenshotting all week. The second we’re presented with those plastic wheels of metallic shades, it’s game over. Though we’ve come to terms with the fact that nine times out of ten we will have pedicure shade-regret, it turns out there might be a solution at hand (or in this case, at foot).

Here’s how to ensure you’ve picked the perfect pedicure polish every time..

#1 Consider what you’ve got planned…

Big event coming up? If you’re wearing sandals or any sort of open-toed shoe, you need to consider which shade is going to best complement your outfit. If you’re undecided on what you’ll be wearing or have a few outfit changes, stick to a neutral or pale pink. We recommend Essie’s Ballet Slippers ($15.99, Adore Beauty).

#2 Don’t be scared to experiment…

Unlike our hands, our feet aren’t on display at all times. Particularly not during the cooler seasons. So, take advantage of this and don’t be afraid to pick a colour or nail art design that you’ve been wanting to test out (but aren’t quite ready to wear on your hands).

#3 Consider your skin tone…

As we do with a lipstick, eyeshadow or even blush, factoring in our undertones will help us select the right shade for our skin. Particularly when it comes to neutral shades. After all, each individual has a different definition of ‘nude’.

#4 Have fun…

The thing about nail polish, it’s not permanent. For people who are wanting to add a pop of colour to their outfit but aren’t quite ready to rock a sequin pink jumper, why not dip your toe in the water with a glitter polish instead? Genius, right?

What is the craziest colour or nail trend you’ve ever tried out on your feet?
