For many dark skinned people, selecting the perfect nail polish colour is a challenge and this is not surprising because skin tone plays a huge role in creating the perfect beauty look including nail beauty. But dark skinned girls usually struggle to find colours that blend with their skin and in choosing the right shades of lipstick and right shades of hair extensions.
Getting the right colour that makes their nails pop is a worry that never ends. But gone are the days when dark skinned people have no choice than to go for red nail paint because the colours were few; now there is an array of colours in diverse shades for dark skinned people to pick from.
These nail colours will look good on dark skinned people
Silver; whether in single color or with tons of design, silver looks beautiful on dark skin
Soft pink; just like bright, bold shades, soft pastels also create a beautiful contrast against dark skin tones.
Lilac; this is a beautiful nail color for dark skin especially during the spring and summer months but can be used all year round.
