How to Choose the Right Shade for Your Green & Gold Nails

Choosing the right shade of green and gold can be intimidating purely due to the excess of options available. Thankfully, there are some easy rules of thumb you can follow to get the perfect shade on your claws. 

  • First and foremost, consider your skin tone! Your skin tone has a huge impact on which shades look good on you versus which ones don’t.  Generally, lighter shades look flattering on fairer skin tones. While medium or olive skin tones are complemented by bolder, more pigmented shades.  
  • Let the occasion decide your shade. Your outfit and the dress code of the event should also help you finalize the perfect shades of green and gold.   
  • Finally, don’t forget to experiment and have fun: Don’t be afraid to try new colors and experiment with shades that you find interesting. Wear it confidently and any shade is bound to look stunning!

How to Make Your Manicure Last Longer

Have a design and think it’s perfect for the season? Here are some tips to make your manicure last longer:

  • Apply nail polish or extension on thoroughly cleaned nails 
  • Use a base coat: A base coat will help the nail polish stick better and will prevent staining 
  • Apply thin layers of polish instead of one thick layer that is hard to work with. Allow each layer to dry before starting with the next one. 
  • Seal the edges: Be sure to paint the tips of your nails and run the brush along the edge to create a seal that prevents water and other substances from getting underneath the polish.
  • Don’t forget the topcoat! A clear topcoat seals in the polish, preventing chipping and extending the life of your manicure.
  • Be careful with your hands: Try to avoid any activities that may damage your nails, such as excessive exposure to water or harsh chemicals.
  • Be liberal with moisturizing! Prevent your nails from becoming dry and brittle by regularly oiling and moisturizing your nails.
