Nail colours by colour season: your six shades (and two to skip)

Match the polish's temperature to your season first (warm corals and camel nudes for springs/autumns; berries, blue-reds and cool nudes for summers/winters), then its clarity (soft vs bright), then its depth.

Sheer 'your-nails-but-better' and a classic French work for every season if the base matches your skin's undertone and depth.

Why a trending shade can look off on you

  • Milky white on deep skin

    Stark milk can read ashy; cocoa or caramel 'milk' gives the same softness in your depth.

  • Silver chrome on warm seasons

    Cool metal against warm skin looks icy; champagne, gold or bronze chrome carries the same shine in your temperature.

  • Bright cherry on soft seasons

    The chroma wears you. Cherry-mocha or a plum-cherry is the same idea, muted.

  • Pale peach on olive skin

    It flattens the green-grey cast; mushroom, greige or rosewood nudes sit better.

Shape and length without seeing your hands

Nobody can tell you your best nail shape from a colour season: that's about your fingers and nail beds, which a photo of your face doesn't show. What travels is trend and occasion: short almond or soft square for 2026, short for hands-on days, medium almond for events. Your nail tech adjusts to you.

Questions people ask

Does the analysis show these on my nails?
It shows your season's six shades on nail tips tinted to your skin depth, two to skip, three current styles with 'your version', and a signature combo (Pro).
What about neutral undertones?
Neutral seasons can use both metals; pick the chrome by the outfit and lean on the season's clarity and depth for colour.
