The newest nail color trend has arrived: a purple-mushroom-taupe color we spotted at Chanel. Not only was it all over the spring runways, but it was spotted at the Golden Globes (ahem, Sandra Bullock), too. It sounds weird, but somehow, it works with my winter-pale skin. It’s a totally natural look that stands out from the classic red, back again purply black or the simple nude and always draws a compliment.
OPI Over the Taupe ($5.25) has a warm caramel hint, which is good for warmer skin tones.
Deborah Lippman nail polish ($16) is always on trend (she is the hand expert, after all) so we love this khaki shade for spring.
Classic Nicole Cosmopoli-TAN ($8) shimmers softly, making it universally flattering.
If you’re not ready to embrace the taupe trend completely, we recommend dabbling in this pinky-tan nail polish by Spa Ritual ($10). It gets major bonus points for being vegan-friendly.
See more nail colors to try, plus get instant gratification with a brand new tube of the best mascara, and see if a $15 nail lacquer is worth the splurge.
