OPI Bubble Bath Nail Polish, £13.90

SALON: Blow Ltd, @BlowLtd

Top manicurists swear by this suits-all, sheer shade that leaves behind a clean finish. A soft pink, it needs a couple of layers to build up the intensity, while a single coat will give a glossy effect that looks seriously expensive.

CND Nail Lacquer in Satin Slippers, £11.95

SALON: DryBy, @DryByLondon

A soft, pinky white, ‘Satin Slippers’ looks great against all skin tones and doesn’t need lots of layers to build the colour – one sweep delivers instant impact. Extra points go to the added vitamin E, keratin and jojoba oil, all of which condition and strengthen nails, as well as smoothing out any ridges.

London Grace No Nonsense Nails in Willow, £12

SALON: London Grace, @Ldn_Grace

Thanks to its beige undertones, ‘Willow’ looks particularly good against olive skin tones, as well as those who are very fair. It’s a soft neutral, but several coats will give it more definition and richness. The wider brush makes application a breeze.

Kure Bazaar Nail Polish in Kimono, £15

SALON: Nails & Brows Mayfair, @NailsAndBrowsMayfair

Kure Bazaar does some of the best neutral shades and ‘Kimono’ is right up there. A cross between a light pink and soft grey, it’s an ideal choice if you want a high-shine finish. All Kure polishes are free from certain ingredients, resulting in better preservation of your nails and fewer chips.

Nailberry L’Oxygene Nail Lacquer in Simplicity, £15

SALON: Townhouse, @MyTownhouseUK

Billed as a ‘creamy beige’, this is one to try if you want to steer clear of pink. It flatters all skin tones and is a great choice for everyday wear – especially if you’re after a shade that isn’t too overpowering.

OPI Nail Lacquer in Samoan Sand, £12.16

SALON: Secret Spa, @SecretSpaUK

Prefer your neutrals on the whiter side? Go for this option from OPI. Clean, fresh and suitable for everyone, the creamy ivory shade looks sophisticated and feminine. It’s especially good against darker skin tones, and in the summer when you have a tan. Like all OPI polishes, we love the high-shine finish.
