Nail colour to complement navy bridesmaids dress

Hi,

As my thread title suggests really!

Bride is very easy going and doesn't really mind what colour I go for. Dress is on the slightly brighter side of navy.
Having gel polish done tomorrow and was considering a navy polish but I'm concerned it may be a little too 'vampy' for a wedding.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Definitely neutral. Either clear, French polish or simple pale pink

WhatTheChickens · 19/10/2017 20:50

Yes, a pale pink was what I was thinking, I'm not really a fan of French polish, it never looks quite right on my nails as they're not a very elegant shape, if that makes sense!

I'd go for a pinky nude colour. There are some lovely ones around.

Nude

I'd go for bright pink. Looks fab with navy

A bright raspberry pink will look gorgeous with navy.

No not neutral, I love navy.
Would agree with the raspberry colour. You want bright not dull.
A lovely rich pinky red.
Enjoy the day.

My bridesmaids wore navy, I put raspberry pink shoes and nails with them, it was fab

Old gold.

Silver!

MoreCheerfulMonica · 20/10/2017 00:15

Lime green - also lovely with navy

ecuse · 20/10/2017 00:23

I'd go for raspberry or gold.

It's Goddess by Kate Moss for Rimmel.

WhatTheChickens · 20/10/2017 08:22

Ok, the shoes are gold if that changes things?
A couple of the other bridesmaids aren't wearing any polish (there's 6 of us) I was worried that a very bold or bright colour might make me stand out in photos etc

BrieAndChilli · 20/10/2017 08:23

What colour are the flowers etc? I’d go for something that matches those

Stringofpearls · 20/10/2017 08:24

If the shoes are good if probably be tempted to go for a matte gold nail varnish to tie it all in together.

WhatTheChickens · 20/10/2017 08:29

Button holes are yellow and peacock, she isn't having a traditional bouquet (allergies!)

Another vote for nude esp with those flowers Smile

Blush. Gold shoes with navy dresses sounds gorgeous! Can we see a link?! I’m nosy!
