I am a certified esthetician only out of school for two years, but figured it would be a nice idea to start a blog about my experiences with beauty care.

Color coding for the right nail color

The right shade of varnish will minimise lines, wrinkles and make the skin look healthy.
The wrong shades will emphasise blemishes and make the skin look shallow blueish or grey.


If you have very short brittle nails, you would want to use a pale, calm color so you don't draw too much attention.
While if you have "knobby" joints, sometimes using bright vibrant colors are better so you draw attention to the nails and not to your nuckles.


Colors are made up of three main colors(base) yellow, blue and red.
In color coding, colors are to be seen as being blue-based(cool and synthetic) or yellow based(warm and natural)



Color coding is also based around the four seasons:



Autumn and spring types are warm(yellow base), having a fair, freckled, golden cast to their skin, red-golden hair, brown eyes.

Winter and summer types are cool(blue base), having a pinkish cast to their skin, gret-blue eyes.


Also I find in spring and summer the most popular colors are lighter, cleaner and brighter.

Where in winter and autumn it seems to be more darker and mellow colors.


Not quite sure if I covered everything, i'll be posting pictures of the differences of skin tones and the difference of them once the right color is chosen, when I can take them ;)
