Mismatched Nails in Complementary Colors
How do nail artists choose the right shades for a multicolor mani? They use color theory. Blue and orange are complementary colors, the same as red and green. They are opposite each other on the color wheel. When mixed, they cancel each other out! But when they are side by side, they look fantastic! So, in a way, they are also “complimentary”!
Pastels and Neutrals for a Soft Look
Work, school, or an event may require a toned-down manicure. Or sometimes we want something soothing. You can’t go wrong with multi-colored nude nails and pastels. Pull out those neglected polishes from your drawer and see how they look side by side. You may be stunned by how great they work together.

Cool Tints Are Refreshing
We love these mismatched celestial nails with lavender, lilac, and baby blue. Embossing gel creates the bas-relief texture for the design without needing acrylics.
What do you think about the matte finish—does it work for you?

How to Choose Polish Shades for Multicolored Nails
Here’s color theory in a nutshell for nail designs. TL; DR: the easiest place to start is with neighboring colors.
Choose shades next to each other on the color wheel, like pink, lavender, light blue, or red, orange, and yellow. Or pick shades that are variations of a single color, like blue. Think indigo, navy, and sapphire.
How to Find Colors That Play Nicely Together
1. Primary Colors
Red, blue, and yellow are the original superheroes. These are the ones you can't make by mixing other colors.
2. Secondary Colors
When two primary colors blend, they create secondary colors, like red + blue = purple, blue + yellow = green, or red + yellow = orange.
3. Complementary Colors
Colors across from each other on the color wheel make each other stand out. Picture how dramatic purple and yellow look together.
4. Analogous Colors
These hues are neighbors on the color wheel, like blue, blue-green, and green. They play well together because they have a lot in common.
5. Monochromatic Colors
Choose one color but use different shades, like red, burgundy, and scarlet. So, when doing a multicolored manicure, think about what vibe you want on your fingertips. If you prefer a bold look, choose complementary colors that contrast. If you want something more subtle, go for analogous or monochromatic colors that transition nicely.
How Does Skin Tone Affect Multicolor Nails?
Figuring out your skin’s undertone is the first step towards choosing the perfect multicolored nails design. Undertones fit into three types: cool, warm, and neutral.
You can easily identify your undertone by placing your skin next to a piece of white paper. Do this in daylight. Flip your hand over and place the sheet under your wrist. Compare the color of your veins and palms against the white. If the veins seem blue or purple, you have a cool undertone. This means your skin may look pinkish next to the white paper. Polish colors like blue, purple, pink, or red will complement your skin tone superbly.
While it’s true that bold colors can complement cool undertones, for someone with pale skin, overly vibrant colors might appear too stark. In such a case, try a pastel tint instead.
If your veins look green, you have a warm undertone. This means your skin may have a golden, peachy, or yellow hue—earthy colors like orange, yellow, and coral flatter warm-toned skin.
If it’s hard to tell whether your veins are more blue or green, you probably have a neutral undertone. Neutrals are lucky as they can pull off almost any color.
Remember, these are just guidelines. The beauty of nail art is in its versatility and how you can express your personal style. Have fun experimenting to find what makes you feel most confident!
