Nail polish for very pale skin

11 replies

xTillyx · 21/05/2013 22:07

Just reading the thread about nail polish and it got me thinking. I love lots of different colours but a lot of them probably don't suit me.

What colours are best for very pale,literaly lily white skin? I find I can get away with brighter colours on toes but on hands it looks ridiculous. Deep colours look ok but I'd like something summery.

Thanks

Is a real bright blue-based red a bit boring? As I think that's lovely any time of year and looks fab with pale skin Or even some of the blue/turquoise colours maybe?

No that sounds lovely. I've never tried blue colours, I always go for reds/purples. Think I'll give a minty colour a go. Thank you

I am very pale and recently discovered that a mushroom colour seems to work on fingernails. Like this. Not sure if it's summery but makes a change from my usual natural pinks and occasional reds!

Oooh Titan that is really nice. Or what about Leighton Denny Supermodel, think I linked yesterday but will do again as its so lovely and suits everyone!

That might be even nicer! Mushroomy with a hint of pink.

Lilac is very in at the moment, in a matt colour not shimmery kind. Rimmel do a nice one . . I have it in my drawer, will check the exact shade when I stop feeding my DS!

Rimmel 60 seconds 'how do you lilac it'. Tried to send you link but am crap! Google it for colour Wink

Thanks for all the tips, some really lovely colours that I hadn't thought of before. I'll look out for that lilac one when I go shopping x

I am very pale and find OPI Strawberry Margarita a great summer pink. I also love Chanel Blue Satin and OPI Louvre Me Louvre Me Not.
