They call it the chameleon of nail colors. Sage green knows no bounds when it comes to flattering every skin tone. For those blessed with olive-toned skin, sage green enhances natural warm hues.
Moreover, sage green provides a soft, ethereal contrast with pale skin that highlights porcelain beauty. And for those with melanin-rich complexions, sage green accentuates gorgeous undertones. In other words, sage green is a versatile choice that brings out the best in everyone.
It also plays nice with other colors. For timeless allure, combine it with cream, white, beige, gold, gray, or black.
Or perhaps you want something warmer? Sage green cozies right up to orange and brown. Pink adds a touch of femininity and yellow a smile of sunshine.
Sage gets along great with other green shades, too. But if you want more contrast, play with various blue or purple hues.
