Older women should generally avoid cool, dark nail polishes. The reason is that the dark color emphasizes the veins on the back of the hand. But if the nails are short and not all painted in the same tone, dark nail polish can also have a beneficial effect and even have an anti-aging effect.

Another way to wear dark nail polish is with glitter polishes. The small particles are a real eye-catcher and draw the eye away from revealing signs of age.

A little more caution is required with dark blue shades, as a dark blue manicure can highlight the veins on the hands of mature women the most. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you should avoid the blue color completely. Instead, you can opt for a nail design in which the blue does not cover the entire nails, but is only used as an accent. In combination with a skin-colored base and some additional glitter, the blue nail polish also looks good on older women.
