Armocromia nails: why it is important to follow it
In recent months the concept of armocromia has spread in an unexpected way, involving all areas linked to the aesthetic sphere, from clothes to make-up, without neglecting manicure and nail care.
It would in fact be a real discord to choose a nail polish, such as the dip powder one, that is not in the same palette as the person, as it would tend to dull the complexion and not make it stand out the natural light of the skin.
After having received a professional evaluation from an armochromy expert, it is possible to define a series of colors that are particularly flattering, placing others in an intermediate area and completely eliminating some colors that are instead dissonant.
To do this it is advisable to first observe the undertone of the skin and identify whether it is warm or cold.

How to choose the color palette for your nails that's right for you
If you are looking for the best palette for your nails, the advice is to resort to an armocromia session turning to an expert.
Or follow a tutorial and define which season best suits your person.
The starting point is that of the complexion, without considering the hair that must be covered, since in most cases the color is not the natural and original one.
If you notice greater shine with silver it means that it belongs to a cold season, therefore winter or summer, while if it stands out with gold then it is better to turn to the warm seasons, such as spring and autumn.
We then proceed with a series of drapes to understand the degree of intensity of the season, in order to define the best palette for clothes, make-up and nail polish.
How to match nail polish
It is not necessary for the nail polish to be the exact same color as the outfit, as it is also fun to play with contrasts and complementary colours, as long as you know the color wheel well.
The matter becomes more complicated if the manicure includes multiple colours, as it would be advisable to include at least one in the clothing to avoid the combination of too many colors and a truly confusing effect.
Let's say that if you opt for multicolored vitamin nails, try to have a lower profile in terms of clothing and look, focusing on bright tones but minimal patterns.
If, however, you are a fan of black, red and burgundy, these leave a lot of room for manoeuvre, as they are quite neutral tones that combine well with black and white, with winter patterns such as tartan, but also with dark-based floral ones.
A style tip is to try to match the lipstick to the nail polish as much as possible, so that the complexion is illuminated in the same way for both the hands and the face.
If you don't have the same shade, opt for a complementary one, considering the cold and warm component depending on your season and the degree of intensity of the color that suits you best.
In fact, there are women who belong to the same season but have a very different palette, as the subcategory has a significant impact on the colors to choose.
Learn to match the nail polish to your complexion, opting for an established and safe brand like Torrid Nails, rich in colors and with modern powder technology, will improve everything your appearance, in a natural way and shining with its own light, without the need for particular precautions.
