Nail your creativity: Mastering the trend of 'paint chip nails'
Have you ever entered a beauty store and felt confused about which nail polish shade to purchase? This often occurs, especially when there is an array of similar color options. But worry not; this nail trend might save you from such confusion. Known as "paint chip nails," this manicure trend allows you to embrace multiple nail polish color shades simultaneously.
What are paint chip nails?
Paint chip nail manicure trend mimics the vibrancy and diversity of a paint store's palette. However, unlike "skittles" or "rainbow nails," which paint nails in different colors, paint chip nails use colors that are all closely related. For instance, a set of five brown hues or five hues from the blue family that are very similar to one another.
Points to note while painting chip nails
Remember that there are no rules regarding what shade goes where. You need not paint it according to its gradient, i.e., from dark to light shade. Feel free to create a pattern of your own. Just make sure you stick to the same color family. Some commonly seen color shades under paint chip nails are brown hues, red/pink hues, and peach/orange shades.
How do you ace the trend?
Having the same warm, cool, or neutral undertones will ensure that the shades blend harmoniously. Despite being a small element, it can significantly impact the outcome. Additionally, for every nail, maintain the same finish. Consider choosing a creamy color with a glossy top coat, a sheer glossy color on each nail, or an opaque color with a matte top coat.
