Out tonight and am wearing a navy dress with gold belt.

Nudey/pinky colour shoes with gold jewellery.

Not sure what colour nails to go for.

I usually go for bright colours and don't like clear or French manicure

What would you go for?

Clear. Or colour to match shoes.

yellowraincoat · 11/08/2012 13:22

Colour to match shoes? Is it the 80s?

I always go for red.

FamiliesShareGerms · 11/08/2012 13:22

Navy or hot pink / orange

tiredemma · 11/08/2012 13:24

I would go with a deep red/claret.

MikeLitorisRings · 11/08/2012 13:25

I was going towards hot pink but not sure as shoes are open toe.

Coral

VBisme · 11/08/2012 13:26

Navy.

winkle2 · 11/08/2012 13:26

Hot pink

ken0eddie0kennedy · 11/08/2012 13:34

I'd have a clear red or Rouge Noir.

Househunter · 11/08/2012 13:35

Light gold

suedpantsoffem · 11/08/2012 13:35

Red a bit tarty IMO Smile

TheCraicDealer · 11/08/2012 13:50

Who cares if it's tarty- life's too short to have dull nails!

IcanandIwill · 11/08/2012 13:52

Have fun with it. I love hot pink with navy.

MikeLitorisRings · 11/08/2012 13:54

It's between navy and hot pink.

Red didn't look right with the open toe.

I've also tried a raspberry pink ans that looks nice too.

How about I just paint a nail each colour?

hot pink definitely

AngryFeet · 11/08/2012 14:01

One of those french polish jobbies

RSVPentathlon · 11/08/2012 14:06

Gold if it's a night out

noddyholder · 11/08/2012 14:06

Coral lovely if you have a bit of a tan otherwise pink

ken0eddie0kennedy · 11/08/2012 14:43

Red is most definitely not 'tarty'. Short nails with perfectly painted glossy red nails is tres stylish. Smile

ken0eddie0kennedy · 11/08/2012 14:44

Unless you're thinking of Bet Lynch, with the long red talons that's not a good look.

ja9 · 11/08/2012 14:52

Red

Or french manicure (but see you don't like)

Or maybe a taupey shade

polyhymnia · 11/08/2012 15:03

I would definitely go for taupey colour. I have a nice one by Essie called Jazz but there are lots around.

ken0eddie0kennedy · 11/08/2012 15:27

I find taupe colours very hard to wear, they make my hands look grubby. It's a shame because I love most of the colours when they're in the bottle.

MikeLitorisRings · 11/08/2012 15:45

Taupe doesn't look right with the shoes. They are an apricot colour.

I have navy, red raspberry and hot pink toe nails atm .

Dc are saying navy. I'm liking the raspberry.

I do have a patchy tan and long dark hair if that makes any difference.

Still think Navy
