We're fans of statement wedding nails—cherry red, sparkly, a little blingy, even blue—but clearly, there's also something to be said for brides choosing a muted, pale nail polish that keeps all the focus on the real stars: the rings! I recently interviewed a bunch of the best celebrity nail artists for an article, and while I was at it, I asked them to name their all-time favorite neutral nail colors for fair, medium, and dark skin. Below are the nine top colors that emerged. Which would you try on as a possible wedding manicure color?
