Let’s get one thing straight – we take our nails very seriously. We have trained our ears to pick up every whisper in the nail industry, from trending accents to popping polishes, to ensure our nails always get the limelight. No trending colour – from neon green to hot pink – has even been off-limits. As we get older, however, our palette tends to become a little more discerning, and more often than not, we end up choosing polish colours that are versatile and will go with pretty much everything we wear.
Curious to see which hues we reach for the most? Ahead, find seven strategic hues that never clash. These polish hues are super chic, versatile, and deserve more than a two-second cameo on your IG story. That’s right, they deserve a spot on your feed, too.
7 Super Versatile Nail Polish Hues That Deserve A Place In Your Nail Stash
Shades Of Mushroom
Call it a mushroom or call it taupe, but any hue that falls in between the grey and brown is a member of the goes-with-everything club. There is a myriad of options. The shade range offers a fresher take on the ho-hum neutral and will work well with all your outfits.
Anything Salty
One of our all-time versatile mani is the perf pinky-peachy tan situation. We’ve found it to be one of the most universally flattering shades in our questionably large collection of nail paint bottles. A pure salty white, or an even deeper red salt hue, also work here.
Sheer With A Lil Sparkle
Lilac, baby pinks, tans, and other earthy tones are an obvious choice if you want something minimal, but lately, we’ve seeing sheer polishes with subtle, light catching shimmer flooding our IG feeds. Even though these hues are subtle, they are guaranteed to rake in the compliments.
Coffee, Please!
Brown nail polishes are a go-to during the fall and winter, but you can rock the sophisticated hues all year-round. It’s so versatile and goes with everything – just saying. Using different hues on each nail will add a spark to this fresh yet effortless look. We love everything about this cute, easy, and fuss-free nail art. It’s perfect for all the minimalist folks out there who wish to make an eye-catching statement with barely any effort.
Bubblegum Blush
This creeps right up to that fine line between sickly sweet and just pink enough. The blush pink nail look is still on the radar for 2022 and we’re now fully obsessed! Gonna be wearing it all through the season. It’s a subtle splash of colour that’s one of the easiest to pull off. Another highlight is that you can easily match this shade with your accessories, for example, your shoes or bag.
Mauve Mania
If you’ve not hopped on the mauve wagon yet, now’s a good time to get on board. Thanks to its signature grey undertones, it’s more wearable than, say neon pink or bubblegum, but it also makes a little bit more of a statement compared to a soft ballet pink. Just be sure to pick a shade that flatters your skin tone, and you’ll be good to go.
Dark Shadows
We love a black nail-polish look not only during the colder months of the year but basically at any time of the year. Black in the summertime is a plot twist we very much encourage. The hue goes with everything which makes it one of the most versatile colours in the world of polishes. If subtle isn’t your typical MO but you also don’t want your nails to clash, we definitely recommend black.
They go with everything!
