Classic Shade #1: True Red
With so many different undertones and hues, though, we know it can be hard to find a color that works for everyone. But trust us when we say that a true, crisp red like Olive and June JG looks amazing on all different skin tones.

Classic Shade #2: Soft Pink
When in doubt, opt for soft pink polish. The instantly chic hue will complement pretty much anything you wear with it because it’s so subtle it passes as a neutral shade. We love Essie Ballet Slippers because it provides a soft but still pigmented mani.

Classic Shade #3: Navy
No matter the season, a rich navy nail polish hue stands out on anyone. We particularly like the shade for when we’re in the mood for something unexpected but classic. To get the look, try Essie Caviar Bar.

Classic Shade #4: Deep Red
A deep, vampy red is a must for any nail lover’s collection. Not only is it a go-to fall shade, but it works well anytime of year and is the perfect way to show off your sultry side. While lots of colors count as vampy, we’re recommending the OG vampy hue, Essie Bordeaux.

Gray nail polish is one of those things you might not realize you need in your arsenal but is actually very necessary. It’s also a great way to anchor minimalist nail art looks. For a soft option, we recommend Olive and June AW.
