Nail Trends: The New Neutral

The classic neutral hue has undergone a major style revamp. Now, it's all about the ultra-fab ombré effect and dimensional details that pack an extra punch of pizazz to your look.

Expert tip: When choosing your neutral, Katie Saxton of customnailsolutions.com advises, "Opaque beiges are most complementary to darker, olive complexions. For paler brides, pink lacquers will perfectly offset your porcelain skin tone."
