FAQs
Should nails match hair exactly?
Echo the undertone, not the shade. A copper-haired brunette wears terracotta better than orange; harmony reads more expensive than matching.
What if I change my hair often?
Build around neutral chameleons (sheer pinks, milky glaze, soft reds) and save hair-specific shades for press-ons you swap at will.
Does this apply to bold hair colors?
Especially then — pastel and fantasy shades pair best with either perfect matches or full complementary contrast; the middle ground muddies both.
