Prefer a more natural look? That doesn't mean you can't have some fun with color. To avoid having to change your polish colors as you go from the beach to the boardroom, try wearing a neutral color like Butter London Yummy Mummy on your nails and a more vibrant shade like Estée Lauder Tumultuous Pink on toes.

The color looks like a very light beige to me. The expert seems to be saying so as well.
"We are loving manicures with a pale taupe nude that looks great on all skin tones," says Cardenas. "Paired with a wild orchid shade (the hot color this season) on toes, it's the perfect mani-pedi polish duo for warmer weather!"
