i have a love-hate thing about red nails- love them on other people, think look tarty on me.

I keep my nails short and fancy a change from the pale pink /naked look.

No, but that's because I don't like it that much.
I often wear dark/bright colours though.
I have grey today.

Every day as in all the time or 'for everyday' as in not a special occassion?

Former - no I would get bored.

Latter - yes of course.

MuGGGhoulWump · 01/11/2010 11:52

Yes grey.
Rimmel 60 seconds grey matter. I love it.

MuGGGhoulWump · 01/11/2010 12:40

Yes, yes I do.
My nails make me look dead.

I have a very dark red on today, like Chanel Rouge Noir but a cheapskate Maybelline version.

Love dark colours in winter, but usually just have french manicure the rest of year.

Dark nails look better on shorter nails though I think.

I meant everday as in not for special occasions.
I have to say that most of my red are darker though I have Boots 17 Baked Cherry ( almost identical to OPI Red) which is a slightly deeper blue red.
I find I have to keep my nails really short though- filed almost right down- otherwise it screams tart.

I've got red on today. It makes me feel happy and I'm in sore need of a pick-me-up today.

I usually change my nail colour every Sunday, so it's not red all the time.

ClaireDeLoon · 01/11/2010 14:50

I wear it as an everyday colour, but more a dark red (OPI Malaga Wine)than a scarlet

purplepeony · 01/11/2010 15:15

i have OPI Bastille my Heart which is similar.
