1. Cobalt blue
When it comes to makeup, clothing, or nails, bold, vivid colors look lovely on those with dark complexion tones. Try cobalt blue nails if you want a royal manicure. Although it may be worn year-round, we especially like this style in the spring and summer. Play with a lighter shade of blue and a toothpick to make a detailed blue marble nail pattern to liven things up.
2. Neon
Neons, which are more of a color family than a specific shade, go well with dark skin tones. Neon green, neon purple, neon orange, and other fluorescent colors provide the foundation of a spectacular manicure. Because neon is so loud, you might not think of neon as being versatile, yet neon colors look excellent on all skin tones and can be readily modified to produce the hue intensity you want.
3. Cream
Manicures are no exception to our appreciation of stunning looks rich with contrast. The cream is one of our preferred nail colors for people with dark skin. A light cream nail polish won’t make you look paler than your fair-skinned friends. Instead, it will highlight your complexion’s deep, rich tones. Plus, any outfit will look great with this neutral manicure option.
4. Taupe
Taupe is at the top of this list of fall and winter manicure colors for those with dark skin. Contrast against your dark skin tone will be created by this brown-meets-gray shade, which is more subdued than cream nail polish. Think about accentuating it with a gold glitter nail for glamour.
5. Chocolate brown
Chocolate brown is a complementing color for almost every skin tone. However, it flattens deeper skin tones noticeably. In 2022, everything from hair color to nail polish will continue to be fashionable in this understated yet rich shade.
6. Emerald
Who doesn’t enjoy a deep green color? It’s the color of money, after all! And putting on a brand-new set of oval, almond, or stiletto nails will make your manicure look stunning. You’ll see emeralds coupled with many different hues of green and other exquisite colors as landscape nail art and desert manicures become increasingly popular.
7. Gray
Grays in various tones, whether you favor light gray or charcoal, are a fantastic choice for dark skin tones. While charcoal will emphasize its dark look, even more, light gray will make a neutral contrast against your dark skin. Think of mixing the two hues into a two-toned gray manicure for the best of both worlds.
8. Silver
We adore silver for a single-color manicure or one with lots of design because it’s a famous tone during the holidays. Silver nail polish will be a need for any at-home or in-salon manicure as iridescent and holographic nails make a comeback on the list of trendy manicures.
9. Soft pink
Like bright, intense colors, soft pastels contrast beautifully with dark complexion tones. Use a smooth, baby-pink lacquer to create a pretty-in-pink manicure. For understated detailing, you can wear an accent manicure that is equal parts nude and baby pink.

10. Lilac
Lilac, another pastel shade we adore, is a stunning nail color for people with dark skin in the spring and summer (but year-round if your heart desires). It can also be included in a contemporary French manicure. Instead of applying a complete coat of lilac on your nails, try substituting lilac French tips for the conventional white ones.
11. Burgundy
Burgundy is a striking nail color for people with dark skin that is frequently saved for the winter months of the year. For a manicure you can wear during the holidays and far into the spring and summer, pair it with a metallic accent nail in gold or silver.
12. Eggplant purple
Purple is a color that complements every skin tone brilliantly, and it looks adorable on dark skin. Specifically, eggplant provides a rich purple hue that enhances your dark complexion’s richness.
13. Coral
Coral is the ideal year-round shade for a unique manicure since it is bold, loud, and demanding attention. If you’re genuinely into the indie nail look, try various nail art styles in the hue all at once.
14. Magenta
Magenta is your go-to nail polish for dark complexion for spring 2022. It’s another dramatic nail polish shade that looks great worn alone or with different hues. Try an all-over splash of matte paint to change up your standard nail set.
15. Olive green
The olive, a delectably understated shade of green, has been famous for a few seasons. Everything from couches and loungewear sets to makeup palettes and nail lacquer hues have been included. Try something different for your New Year’s Eve mani-pedi, and go for a cute olive green, black, and gold foil pattern.
16. Bright orange
When it comes to brilliant hues, bright orange is a sure bet. Another color that tends to wash off people with light skin but accentuates your rich tone if you have dark skin.
