The rise of paying attention to what nail paint we wear with our outfit comes to the stress of choosing a color that goes well with it. If you pair the nail paint that does not look good with your dress, it will break your look.
Your OOTD will go from being a beauty to a complete disaster in no time. It is crucial to pay attention to the color scheme of your outfit to avoid this mishap.
It is relatively easy to choose nail paint for monochrome outfits. Let alone nail paint, choosing accessories for a monochrome outfit also does not require much time and effort.
This article will help you choose the perfect nail color to pair with your red dress. Without further ado, let’s get started!
Nail Color With Red Dress
The first step of choosing nail paint for your outfit is considering the occasion you will be pairing it.
Red is one of the most versatile colors of the palette, and needless to say, you can wear it anywhere anytime. Be it for a wedding, a romantic date, or a party night.
Now you can either go for freshly done french manicures or choose a bold color to amp up your outfit.
If you are in the mood to experiment, walk the extra mile and try out some nail art. I am sure you will look good no matter what you choose, but here is a list of colors that I pair with my red outfit.
The color you choose from this list should depend on the shade of red you are wearing- whether it is a bright red, fire brick, crimson, raspberry, burgundy, sangria, chili, or others.
A red with a cooler undertone is easier to pair than a red with a warmer undertone. However, consider your skin tone and your nail shape and size before opting for one.
1. Cherry Red
A classic red dress with classic red nails can never go wrong together. You can pull the look off effortlessly with an all-red fit – red nails, red nails, red stilettos, and of course, a red outfit.
If you are into accessories, wear a timeless pearl necklace to add the touch of sensuality and regality.
A cherry red nail paint will often make you come across as bold and dressy, but if you tone down on the red, your outfit will continue to be the stunner. Whether it is your first prom or a romantic date, red will enhance your beauty to another dimension.
2. Maroon
If you are not in the mood to experiment, consider wearing maroon nail paint with your red outfit. The color is a safe choice, as it is neither too much nor too little. Maroon will also add a bossy vibe to the outfit. It will make you look mature and give an impression that you know what you are doing.
3. Light Yellow or Pale Yellow
Millennials love to play with colors. If you don’t want to pair your red outfit with the standard colors, you can opt for pale yellow nail paint. It will look chic and will complement your red outfit well.
Pale yellow is also a color that will make you look feminine and tone down your outfit.
You can wear accessories of the same color to match your nails. However, do not wear more than two coats of nail paint, as it will no longer look pale.
4. Silver
Do you know that you can wear metallic colors as nail paints? They will not only look trendy but also give your outfit a touch of modernism. Silver is one such metallic color that looks bomb and will ensure that you turn quite a couple of heads at the party.
If you are not someone who likes shimmers but wants to try silver nail paint, try wearing a single coat of it. Build it up with a second coat if you love that shine.
5. Golden
I am not personally fond of wearing a golden with a red outfit unless it is for a wedding or a festive occasion. But it does look good with a red outfit. A lot depends on the golden you are choosing to wear.
A golden with a subtle hint of shimmer is what I like, but if you want to go all out, you can wear a shimmery gold that is blinding. Do not worry about what people think; you do, you girl!
6. Nudes
How can we ever leave nudes behind? Nudes go best with any outfit. You can choose from various nude colors to pair with your red outfit. Be it a beige, soft pink, or chocolate hinted off white.
Nudes make you look feminine and put together. You need to put in nude color is minimal, but the outcome is a total show stopper.
Nude colors are best for women who go to work or want their outfits to do the talking; and not the nails. In no way it means that your nude nail paint won’t make any difference in your appearance.
7. Fuschia
Fuschia is a bright pink, and contrary to popular belief, you can pair two bold colors together. It will not look tacky or too much on the face. Fuschia is perfect for a date or a party night with friends when you want to make a statement.
You can pair your accessories and shoes in silver to compliment your Fuschia painted nails.
To ensure that your outfit has a balance of color, you can opt for a Fuschia lipstick. You can also add a bit of red nail paint on top of the Fuschia and create a bit of nail art.
8. Purple
I know this may come as a shock, but you can wear purple nail paint with your red dress. Purple is a jewel color and would give a striking contrasting effect to your outfit.
You can pair it with a silver lining above your purple nails to add a bit more color.
If you don’t want to go for a vibrant purple, you can always go for a muted one. Again, I suggest you apply a single coat and then apply another if you want more splash of color.
9. Black
Back to basics, eh? But how can we ever leave out black when talking about a red outfit and what to pair with it? Black is a beauty, and it goes with everything, especially red.
You must have come across people going crazy after this combination of colors. But to some women pairing a black nail paint may seem a little too much.
Like I say, to each its own. Either choose a matte black or a shimmery black to go with your outfit. I’d suggest you go for a matte black as it looks chicer and put together.
10. White
We are back with the color that is the safest of them all. White is wearable and a no-brainer nail paint to choose for your red outfit. You can choose it without a second thought.
White nail paint makes your hands look graceful and neat.
What’s even better? You can wear it for any occasion. Either pick a bright white or a toned-down white to match your outfit.
A cooler undertone red dress would look better with a bright white, while for a warmer red, choose a pale white.
What kind of make-up would look best with a red outfit?
Make-up is a personal choice, and how you like to do it is also something that I don’t think needs the approval of a third person.
But we are here to help you look good and give our advice, so here it is.
If you want your outfit to do the talking and don’t want any other factor to dim its shine, go for a minimal make-up look.
A no make-up look will look best if you wear it in the daytime.
But if you are wearing a red outfit to a party or a festive event, you may go for shades of brown, silver, gold, and soft pink.
Gold and silver are more festive-appropriate than any other color.
Will a red lipstick look good with a red outfit?
You can wear red lipstick with your red outfit. It will look gorgeous and give the impression that you are confident in your skin. If your dress is a bodycon dress, wearing red lipstick will only enhance the boldness of the outfit.
However, if you are not comfortable wearing red lipstick, you can always wear a nude shade.
A nude color lipstick looks classy and is wearable throughout the day.
Unlike a bold red shade, you can carry it anywhere without taking away the attention from your dress.
Some other lipstick shades that you can wear with your red dress are burgundy, brown, and pink. Choose the shade according to the undertone of your outfit.
A dress with a cooler undertone requires you a lipstick that shares the same undertone, while that of a warmer undertone will look good with a lipstick that has a warm undertone to it. Mismatching the undertones can result in a complete downfall of the look.
Conclusion
All women look beautiful and elegant in a red dress. The color red complements the female body well and grabs attention to the curves.
Be it for a wedding or a brunch date, you can wear a red saree or a beachy red dress and still look pretty as ever.
Earlier, picking a nail paint that matches an outfit wasn’t a thing, but with the coming together of beauty influencers, it has become relevant. We hope that this article comes in handy for you in your time of need.
