    The nine color families

    • Nudes: sheer pinks, beiges and caramel shades close to your skin tone.
    • Pinks: from baby pink and blush to bubblegum, coral and hot pink.
    • Reds: classic, cherry, poppy and brick reds, plus a deep cherry mocha.
    • Berries: raspberry, cranberry, wine and black cherry.
    • Purples: lavender, lilac and orchid through to plum and eggplant.
    • Blues: ice blue and periwinkle through to cobalt and navy.
    • Greens: mint, pistachio and sage through to emerald and forest green.
    • Neutrals: milky white, greige, taupe, espresso, charcoal and black.
    • Metallics: gold, rose gold, silver, champagne, copper and gunmetal.

    Cream, shimmer, chrome or matte?

    • Cream: a smooth, solid color with a glossy shine. It is the easiest finish to wear every day.
    • Shimmer: fine sparkle mixed into the color. It catches the light and hides small flaws.
    • Chrome: a mirror-like shine, usually made with chrome powder over gel. It looks best on smooth, even nails.
    • Matte: no shine at all, from a matte top coat. It looks soft and modern, especially on deep shades.

    How to wear a 3-color combo

    Combo mode picks a main color, a second color and an accent. Here is an easy way to wear them:

    • Paint the main color on your thumb and middle finger.
    • Paint the second color on your index finger and pinky.
    • Use the accent on your ring finger, as a solid color, glitter or a simple design.

    Want something softer? Wear the main color on all nails and use the accent only for a thin French tip or a few dots.

    Tips for choosing a color you will love

    • Think about your week. If you use your hands a lot, pale and nude shades hide chips best.
    • Check your undertone. Blue-based shades often flatter cool undertones. Yellow-based shades often flatter warm ones.
    • Follow the season, or ignore it. Pastels feel like spring and deep shades feel like fall, but any color works any time.
    • Try it before you paint. Hold the bottle next to your hand in daylight, or preview the shade on a photo of your hand.

    Frequently asked questions

    How does the random nail color picker work?

    Tap spin and the picker chooses a shade at random from 60 named nail colors in nine families, plus a finish. If you lock a family, season or finish, it only picks from colors that match. Your last 6 picks stay on the page until you leave.

    Can it pick a color combo?

    Yes. Switch to 3-color combo mode and it picks a main color, a second color and an accent. The illustration shows one easy way to wear them, with the accent on the ring finger.

    What color should I paint my nails if I can't decide?

    Start with a lock that fits your plans, like nudes for work or reds for a party, then spin a few times. Pick the shade you smile at first. If none feels right, unlock everything and let the picker surprise you.

    Can I get a random nail design, not just a color?

    This tool picks colors. For nail art ideas by occasion, season, length and style, try the nail art idea generator, then use a combo from this picker for the colors.

    Does the picker know which colors suit my skin tone?

    No, it is random on purpose. To find shades that flatter your undertone, take the nail color quiz. The CutieCure app can also suggest colors from a photo of your hand.
