The Best Base Colors for Nail Art
If you like doing nail art, then you need a base shade! These are some of our popular flesh-toned base colors for nail art. Whether you’re doing something abstract or going for a classic French tip, choosing the right base can make your nail art appear much more put together.
Consider the tones of the polish you’re using for your art. The base and the colors you use should complement one another. Also consider the tone of your natural nail bed as well. Since these shades have lighter coverage, you should use a base that pairs well with your nail tone.

Using Perfectors as a Base
If your natural nail has discoloration, you may want to use a Naked Manicure Perfector as your base shade. Perfectors treat discoloration so you can have as close to a natural nail look as possible. Choose the Perfector that matches your nail tone best, or blend them to have the most accurate results. Want to learn more about Perfectors? Read our article on how to use them.
