A practical guide to office-appropriate nails, sorted by sheerness, pearl finish, and tip width rather than color names alone.
Office nails aren't a one-shade category. Even within the nude family, sheerness, the ratio of gray or pink undertone, and the width of a French tip or size of pearl particles change the whole impression. This list factors in meeting-heavy days, outside events, and the jackets and shirts you already wear.
Salon lighting and your actual fingertips often read differently. Instead of asking for a color by name, hold the tip against your hand to check sheerness and shine, and ask upfront about removal, touch-up, and add-on art costs so you know the time and budget involved.
