Against logic, I actually find applying pale colors to be harder than fire engine reds or even dark shades like Chanel Vamp\u2014streaks are so much more visible, and it's too easy to over-apply! With that in mind, I asked Shari Gottesman (founder of Perfect Formula nails) to share her best pale-shade tips: \"Greige tones can easily be over-the-line unflattering so there are a few important things to be aware of: Your manicure must be perfect. Nails do not need to be extremely short: Mid-length or shorter will be most flattering and either square or slightly rounded. When it comes to white, try to find a shade that is not 100% white. It will be a little more forgiving if it has a slight tone to it. I love the way a very sheer coat looks on all nails, but it is also great when taken to its opaque extreme. Go for one gorgeous piece of jewelry as a focal point to balance out the hand.\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
