On trend nail varnish colour?

Trivial but what is a nice colour just now. Off on hols and want to do my toes. Overawed by the choice!

Any suggestions?

Btw using 'on trend' with irony!

No one? Well it may just have to be boring old rouge noir or pink then. Hmph.

Loving green/teal at the minute!!

No idea whether it's 'on trend' or not but I'm working China Glaze For Audrey today Blue

Coral/Orange are meant to be quite in.

The new season Chanel nail varnished launched today and one of those is orangey red. Essie also have an orangey red in their seasonal collection. Its Chanel Lilis and Essie Hip Anema.

Also both seem to include bluey greens so as Arbee said, teal.

Teal sounds good and like that blue too. Similar colours. Hadn't thought of blue as was thinking my toes may just look frost bitten but a greeny blue might work. Thanks.

I got that Essie coral and was really disappointed with it. Took 4 coats to get a good colour and coverage and chipped within a day.
Barry M does a coral that I've just taken off after 5 days of wear, and only £3 too Grin

Ooh, good thread, having a pedi on Monday and was wondering the very same thing.

I love teal blue. I am definitely going with that!

Littlemiss I really love essie, but was the colour not very good? I was planning on ordering it.

Corygal · 31/05/2013 16:17

Depending on who you read, orange, neon or nude.

Essie Madison Ave Hue is the perfect summer pink. Also love Rimmel Double Decker Red.

littlemissnormal · 31/05/2013 16:35

Tig, the colour was great but after 3 coats i could still see my half moons and it chipped so easily. I was gutted.

SammySockMonster · 31/05/2013 20:25

opi eurso euro! it's a cream cobalt-violet sort of colour and just gets better as you get tanned-er. love it, going to be my holiday colour this year.

50shadesofmeh · 31/05/2013 21:18

Blues and greens
Have china glaze For Audrey
And Barry M greenberry on these days

Amazinggg · 31/05/2013 22:29

I have Rimmel double decker red on my fingers atm, tis the perfect bright red Smile

Essie do a lovely greeney turqoisey blue, this one DH said my toes looked like the little mermaid which I took as a compliment. It's Beach Bum Blu if that link doesn't work, also it's more blue and rich than that looks

Amazinggg · 31/05/2013 22:32

I want all of these

mamalovesmojitos · 31/05/2013 22:44

Mint probably a bit last year but I'm still loving it Smile

Nehru · 01/06/2013 01:55

Everyone wild about my "melt your Popsicle " shade.

Juniperdewdropofbrandy · 01/06/2013 02:12
