Orange

MelanieCheeks · 21/07/2013 18:16

Chalky pastels - yellow, blue, orange, I think.

KenDoddsDadsDog · 21/07/2013 18:16

White

NeverBeenToMe · 21/07/2013 18:17

I thought 'nude' shades were in.

ruddynorah · 21/07/2013 18:19

Orange I tell thee! Although today I'm sporting pale yellow with white polka dots to my ring and little fingernails.

MadAboutHotChoc · 21/07/2013 18:26

Neon colours according to my DD.

Breezy1985 · 21/07/2013 18:28

I'm wearing Orange at the moment.

TondelayoSchwarzkopf · 21/07/2013 18:32

Coral.

StickyProblem · 21/07/2013 18:39

Metal flip, greeny gold in one light and metallic purple in another. Fab!

Alibabaandthe40nappies · 21/07/2013 18:41

Coral.

internationallove985 · 21/07/2013 18:44

I'm not really sure. I just match up my nail varnish with what I'm wearing. Although I don't think you can go wrong with a nice light light pink. x

It depends on the brands you're looking at - Chanel and Dior have different coral, orange and red colours, as well as blue and green metallics.
Essie have pastel colours, as well as green/teal (not metallic like Chanel and Dior, but with sparkle), pink and coral/orange.
OPI have a Minnie Mouse collection and neons.

I think everything's allowed at the moment Smile

MrsDoomsPatterson · 21/07/2013 18:46

Neons - classy neons. See Nails inc, fab with a tan.

Vibbe · 21/07/2013 18:48

Essie Camera is a lovely pink neon. It's a dupe of Dior Paradise.
I recommend using a white polish under, as the colour will be more neon and you will not get a visible nail line with the white polish under.

MadAboutHotChoc · 21/07/2013 19:41

Barry M has a fab range of pastels/neons.

I can't do these or light pink - dark/strong colours only for me and I am currently wearing navy blue.

Beaverfeaver · 21/07/2013 19:48

I wear either orange, nude, or dark navy or black

Methe · 21/07/2013 19:53

I'm not sure that there is such a thing as a classy neon tbh. Navy looks good as does coral but orange is vile!

Different colours suit different people ( I'm not talking about that Winter, Spring shite) if you like it and it looks good then wear it.

TheCutOfYourJib · 21/07/2013 20:46

Orange, especially with a tan.

snowmummy · 21/07/2013 20:55

Coral

dottyaboutstripes · 21/07/2013 20:56

Coral. Fo sho

bigkidsdidit · 21/07/2013 21:01

White

thecatfromjapan · 21/07/2013 21:07

I thought blue was last year ( I have a disgusting Chanel blue that I bought in a misplaced attempt to be current a while ago) but I have seen blue everywhere this last week. I think every third woman on the tube had blue nails in my v. informal survey this weekend.

thecatfromjapan · 21/07/2013 21:09

However ... I am going with a YSL pink that is just on the grown-up side of Barbie. The blue looked completely gross on my nails.

Nagoo · 21/07/2013 21:10

The Barry M gelly colours are all ace.

GirlWithTheDirtyShirt · 21/07/2013 21:12

I've just whacked coral on my toes (it's quite an orangey coral) and pastel lilac on my fingers.
