We’re already a few months into 2024, and if your new year resolution was to save money, chances are you’ve looked at your bank statements and see that you’ve spent too much at the nail salon. There is nothing wrong with a pampering treat for yourself but staying home and doing your nails can save you money and time.

If you like to step out of the house with good-looking nails, trust us, you’re not alone. Although there are many nail polish shades, you can’t go wrong with picking a nude shade. Nude colors always match your skin tone and can be worn on any occasion while matching every outfit. Even when your nails grow, you can repaint them with a nude shade, and they will look good as new.

Getting nude color nail polish is like applying lip gloss; showing off a natural finish. Whether you like an oval, square, or round-shaped nail, a nude color can go with any outfit and occasion as it is simple and classy.

If you want to try a nude shade, below you’ll find some of the best nail polishes available– everything from Sally Hansen and OPI to ESSIE.
