The New Summer Nail Colours For Darker Skin

With summer creeping in, it’s time to ditch the autumn oxblood and winter khaki and opt for much bolder hues

Warm colours work well with darker skin tones – think sunset yellows and gentle corals. Our compilation of summer nail colours will leave you brimming with options to keep your nails looking hot throughout the season

Coral
One of the most flattering nail colours for black women and the most favoured colour of the season. Coral looks chic on short nails. This OPI Nordic Nail Polish in Can’t Afford Not To (£4.95) hits the trend perfectly and is the perfect colour for poolside antics!

Yellow
Yellow has always had a place in our heart when it comes to the most complimentary colours however this Morgan Taylor Nail Polish in Street Credible (£8.96) makes us go weak. This sunset yellow takes standing out to a whole new level. Pop this colour on your hands and feet for all eyes on you.

Orange
This shade will look striking on those warm late nights. Tangerine Tent from the Rita Ora Rimmel Collection (£2.40) is a juicy bargain buy that’ll also look great on your toes.

White
Many women avoid white but we love a clean slate nail. No other nail colour makes your melanin pop quite like a white. Match this Barry M Gelly Nail Paint in Cotton (£3.99) with a floaty floral dress to complete your daytime summer look.
