It's True: Sheer Nails Are the Key to Looking Polished and Elegant from Top to Toe This Summer
For most of my life, I've been a red nail polish devotee. There was a time when I only ever painted my nails red and you'd never see me with any other colour on my fingertips. I still love making a statement with bold nail polish colours and eye-catching nail art but in the past few years, I've learned to embrace softer, more subtle nail polish shades.
While I'd argue that when it comes to nail polish, red is a neutral, there's something to be said for truly neutral nail colours. These nail shades, particularly in sheer washes, go with absolutely everything. Sheer nail polish is perfect for any occasion, it goes with everything in your wardrobe, and it's kind of like a filter for your nails—they'll look low-key but still polished and it won't look super obvious as they grow out.
