Brown nail polish is one of the most versatile nail colors. Browns are classy, conservative and safe, as they fall in the category of neutral nails.
These are universally work-friendly colors you can wear in any atmosphere without offending anyone’s tastes or calling attention to your nails.
Brown nails are perfect for situations where you need to keep a polished look, but want to remain low-key. When you want to look clean and professional, but don’t want your nails to steal the whole show.
For this reason, they’re a go-to staple polish color for any time of the year, but specifically in the fall and winter when lighter, brighter, paler neutrals are waiting for their return in the spring and summer months.
Below are 5 brown nail polishes to consider for the season:
