6 Natural Nail Colors Excellent for DIY Hiding

There’s nothing quite like a good manicure to lift your spirits a bit. Going to the salon or doing your nails at home has the impact of making you feel more put together, even if everything else in your life isn’t quite that way at the time, according to a recent study. A manicure also offers me a hidden little boost of confidence since nude nails are an under-the-radar appearance that others may not notice. And don’t we all need a little of it every now and then?

While we like the dramatic appearance of deep red, the freshness of pastels, and the creativity of nail art, we believe that a natural color is the best option. It seems to be easy, elegant, and modest all at the same time. Furthermore, these colors will look beautiful even if you’re doing an at-home manicure while dealing with a shaky hand, which is not uncommon. Take a peek at some of our faves for all skin tones in the gallery below.

Erin Jahns, beauty editor at CHM by Olive & June, shared a photo of this hue on Instagram a couple of weeks ago. She said that it is one of her favorite natural colors at the time of writing. Because it is so light, the translucent tan on nails gives the impression that you are not even wearing any color.
