You pat on eye cream twice a day, seek shade from wrinkle-causing UVA\/UVB rays, and head to the salon to zap pesky grays. But what about your hands?<\/strong><\/p>\n

That\u2019s what we thought. It has been said that the hands are the ultimate tell when it comes to your age. But before you reach for desperate measures, know this: the right color nail lacquer can be the key to brighter, younger-looking hands<\/strong> while giving your entire look an extra pop of elegance. \u201cA great manicure is not only a fun treat for yourself, but it shows real attention to detail and an extra level of grooming,\u201d says Elise Wright, editor at Pedicure.com<\/a>. Ready for the secrets? Here, Wright shares her best insider tips<\/strong> for a beautiful, naturally anti-aging manicure.<\/p>\n

Watch Out For Blue Tones
\n<\/b>If your hands are sporting bluish veins, steer clear of any blue-toned reds, plums, or straight up blues and greens. \u201cThese colors emphasize the veins in the hand,\u201d warns Wright.<\/p>\n

Try An Orange-Red
\n<\/b>If you love a classic red, pick something with a hint of orange to brighten up the whole hand. Need to tell the difference between a blue-red and an orange-red? \u201cHold up the color in question next to a blue or orange bottle,\u201d says Wright. Still can\u2019t decide? Your nail tech is a good source, too.<\/p>\n

<\/i>Never Go Wrong With Neutrals
\n<\/b>Nude polish may be an emerging trend, but its anti-aging power is here to stay. Neutral colors like nudes, light whites, and baby pinks elongate stubby fingers while giving the whole hand a touch of classic elegance. \u201cThe key to picking a great nude is pairing it with your foundation,\u201d says Wright, who suggests OPI for its wide range of neutral shades.<\/p>\n

\"Perfect<\/p>\n

Choose Dark Polishes Wisely
\n<\/b>Brown age spots are usually the result of over-exposure to the sun\u2019s ultraviolet rays, so it\u2019s no wonder your hands are extra susceptible. If your hands are sporting a few, be wary of the deep, dark browns, blacks, and purples that crop up during fall and winter. While gorgeous on short nails, their brown undertones emphasize spots. Instead, choose a pretty, creamy plum or cranberry for a chic wintery look.<\/p>\n

<\/i>You’re Always Safe With Pink
\n<\/b>There\u2019s a reason you navigate toward the pink polishes at every manicure\u2014it\u2019s reliable, it\u2019s fun, and there\u2019s a pink for every outfit. The lighter shades of pink help shape longer, slimmer fingers, says Wright. But if your hands are not your favorite feature, go for a bright pink. \u201cA good bright pink will keep the eye on the nail, rather than the whole hand.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/i>Try A Little Shimmer
\n<\/b>Glitter nails are a hard trend to resist, but a little goes a long way. Wright suggests trading in a chunky glitter polish for one with a touch of metallic. \u201cWhen it catches the light, it adds just that little bit of interest,\u201d she says, which is particularly important if your daily uniform consists of dark suits or a monotone palette.<\/p>\n

And The #1 Color To Avoid Is…
\n<\/b>There aren\u2019t many blanket rules in the world of beauty, but there\u2019s one when it comes to an anti-aging manicure: yellow nail polish. \u201cYellow polish makes the hand look sallow and sickly, especially if your hands are dry,\u201d<\/strong> says Wright. And really, whose aren\u2019t? Stick with a gorgeous gold instead.<\/p>\n
