I know everyone says rouge noir type of thing but in the dark / evening do, surely neon more fun?
Nails short. Not fake

What about pillar box red? Not a fan of neon tbh.

Amblin · 11/12/2012 17:19

I could do red but do that normally. Hmm

Don't really like rouge noir

Doubt thats what you wanted to hear though

2blessed2bstressed · 11/12/2012 17:32

shellac ruby ritz is something like what I was thinking

Amblin · 11/12/2012 17:50

You see I like pink but I've got to admit it just seems wrong this time of year

I've just bought a lovely dark green. I think it'd go well with an LBD.

OPI gold the james bond one. I have awful nails but saw it on a friend and its lovely

MerylStrop · 11/12/2012 18:03

not neon

I like some of the dark metallics

Rouge Noir contemp classic and looks good on short nails imo

Amblin · 11/12/2012 18:57

HMM interested in the gold OPI although gold makes my skin look bad normally

i wore the pink i linked at the work party the other week, went well with my black dress as it showed up in the darkness of the club, darker colours would have just looked all the same iykwim!

and am looking forward to wearing it in the summer too

WayneDeer · 11/12/2012 19:29

I think natural palest pink..not french manicure...to look polished
or
dark only

(unless maybe rarely scarlet)

auldspinster · 11/12/2012 19:48

OPI lincoln park after dark is a nice blackened purple that goes with everything.

JaxTellerIsMyFriend · 11/12/2012 19:58

I love OPI colours. I had Jessica Geleration on which I find much better than Shellac, lots of lovely dark colours and they have sparkly ones too, lovely for this time of year.

Shall be getting mine done and will either go for 'Venus was her name' or 'Windsor Castle' - both dark and lovely.

Essie Leading Lady lovely deep cranberry coloured glitter.

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 11/12/2012 21:42

Nails Inc Aspen or The Boltons

OPI - I'm Not Really a Waitress (my favourite for Christmas) Smile

franticallyjugglinglife · 11/12/2012 21:59

I wore black with glitter topcoat with my lbd. Loved it and got loads of positive comments.

Amblin · 11/12/2012 22:16

i like black with glitter idea

OP posts:
Beaverfeaver · 11/12/2012 22:41

When wearing black I mostly have nude/beige nail polish

noddyholder · 12/12/2012 09:23

What about rouge noir with glitter at tip?

LittleAbruzzenBear · 12/12/2012 09:36

I like Opi's Germany collection. My fav is German-icure.

KrisMoose · 12/12/2012 13:49

silver glitter. will match your shorts.

KrisMoose · 12/12/2012 13:51

GOD that Essie Leading Lady is all kinds of fabulous

WhoKnowsWhereTheMistletoes · 12/12/2012 21:29

I went into Superdrug the other day to buy something completey unrelated and the Leading Lady jumped off the shelf into my basket, I just had to have it.

NigellasGuest · 12/12/2012 21:38

I'm wearing Bewitching by Revlon - a lovely wine-red. Would look good with black I think. Do avoid the neons
