Marmalade by Revlon. I'm wearing it right now.

bamboostalks · 21/07/2013 21:16

I've seen lots of grey around which looks v nice actually.

HelgatheHairy · 22/07/2013 09:52

I think Orange was the colour of the summer and nude/gray is Autumn/Winter (again) although I could be tempted by YSL Gris Underground

A feature colour on one nail

Deffo orange. Coral is last year, although still love it.

Bright, almost neon orange is very 'this year'.

Orange and neons but I don't like those so am sticking mainly to my favourite greys - which have been in a while but still look good.

Wore Chanel Frenzy to a wedding on Sat ( with monochrome dress) - really nice subtle light grey, perfect for summer.

LaRegina · 22/07/2013 14:24

Coral in particular but also any neons. Coral is 'in' every summer it seems Smile

Neutrals were in last Autumn, I thought...

LaRegina · 22/07/2013 14:25

Poly I love Chanel Frenzy too but it doesn't seem to look right on me now I have a bit of a tan.

polyhymnia · 22/07/2013 14:57

I also have a bit of a tan now but it looks good. I think there's a huge variation in skin tones, tanned and untanned, do what looks good on one doesn't on another and vice versa. I quite often see beige neutrals which I love in the bottle but not on me.

thecatfromjapan · 22/07/2013 15:07

This is the one I have. It's v. flattering and nodding towards the trend for brights without slavishly adhering.

(Thus speaks a woman bitter about her betrayal at the hands of the blue nail varnish!)

I've wooden some blues that look terrible on me and some lovely ones. Trouble is you can't tell before you try them!

MarcelineTheVampireQueen · 23/07/2013 13:29

I never had nails to paint before and last month I painted my nails for the first time@ I thought orange would look shocking but it is my favourite. Blue looks desperate on me, like I caught my fingers in a car door

Nagoo · 23/07/2013 13:38

Wooden Hmm

AmandaHoldenmigroin · 23/07/2013 14:11

Neon - like Essie's cute as a button or the bright neon yellow

Keztrel · 23/07/2013 16:36

If orange is in (I have no idea) I can totally recommend Chanel Orange Fizz, 'tis gorgeous - it somehow manages to be orange rather than coral and yet not hideous like most oranges.

MarcelineTheVampireQueen · 23/07/2013 17:46

And for cheap and cheerful, the maybelline colour show varnishes are great!

dottyaboutstripes · 23/07/2013 17:55

Chanel Holiday is a good orange (though from last year)

MikeLitoris · 23/07/2013 17:58

Ive been wearing a lot of oranges lately.

Today I have on a lovely pastel blue.

Asdas have maybelline colour show for £2. Loads of fab colours.

MrsDoomsPatterson · 24/07/2013 21:32

Of course neons can be classy - It's about tans & the varnish colour. Notting Hill by Nails inc is v flattering, they also do a neon coral, beautiful. Don't try without a tan though.

InMyShreddies · 24/07/2013 22:14

Essie Beach Bum Blu is a gorge shade of turqoisey shimmery blue. DH said my toes looked like the Little Mermaid's Smile
