Rent the Runway shares tips on how to complete your look.
Rent the Runway Style Director Blaire Walsh offers her expert perspective on finding the right nail color for this summer. “The bold nail is making an appearance more than ever,” she says, “The trick to pulling off a statement nail and your everyday attire is to complement and create an overall, balanced look.”
Walsh suggests using your nail color as an “accessory” to complement your outfit. “Nails don’t always have to be matchy-matchy,” she advises, “Use your nails to surface those little outfit details and establish a more elevated look.”
