Most neutral nail polishes are somewhere in the brown family of colors. Neutral nail polishes can be a great addition to any nail polish collection.
They’re work and interview friendly, plus they’re very adaptable. You can find a neutral nail polish that’ll blend into just about any look you have planned.
Neutral nails can minimize any attention to the nails, while still providing a polished and put together appearance to your manicured nails.
Below are swatches of 3 great neutral nail colors to consider:
Gifted by Beyond Polish
essie in my sandbox
Shown in 2 coats, in my sandbox is a warm, light pink-beige neutral nail polish with a cream finish.
Depending on lighting and your skin tone, in my sandbox can lean more pink or more beige.
essie expressie crop top & roll
crop top & roll is a warm, light brown neutral with faint pink undertones and a cream finish.
Shown in 2 coats, this is a great “I have to leave in 10 minutes and need something on my nails,” option.
It does dry quickly.
wet n' wild wildshine Casting Call
wet n wild Casting Call is a terracotta cream neutral nail polish. Shown in 2 coats, it has gorgeous orange-brown warmth.
It’s very similar to OPI’s Barefoot in Barcelona, yet available for a fraction of the price.
Do you have any of these neutrals in your collection? Do you prefer your neutral nail polishes sheer or cream finish?
