Nude nails are my absolute favorite nails to rock. I used to be all about bold and dark colors, but these days I just need something subtle, easy, and classy that will go with everything.

But, lest you think nude nails are boring, let me assure you: there are tons of fun variations on this look. Today, I’m sharing 25 of my favorite nude nail ideas to get your inspiration going.

Before we get to the ideas, it’s worth mentioning that “nude nails” are different for everyone depending on skin tone. For example, nude could mean beige for someone with very light skin, or brown for someone with dark skin.

For our purposes, “nude” in this post means “your nails but better,” so definitely adapt these styles to fit your skin tone!

Below, I’ll share a variety of nude nail ideas, with options that will work on all different skin tones.
