How lighting changes the look of your custom nail order

When dreaming up your next custom set, making sure that exact vision comes to life is the ultimate goal. Because the entire consultation happens online at Talaskye, those inspiration photos serve as the blueprint for the design. Yet, there is one crucial detail that always gets overlooked: lighting.

To get the most accurate colour match, sending clear, high-quality photos taken in natural daylight or bright neutral lighting is an absolute must.

Here’s an example of how much a solid colour set in a maroon shade changes to pink just by stepping out of the sun and into the shade.

Colour is a chameleon that can play tricks on our eyes. Between different screen settings, device brightness, and environment, a colour’s shade can completely transform. Depending on the lighting, a soft lavender can easily look like a muted grey, and a vibrant emerald can look completely black.

A simple shift from direct sunlight to open shade alters the entire depth and undertone of the set’s colour. While a 100% exact match is technically impossible across digital screens, providing clear, bright imagery will help get as close to that colour as possible.
