I think coral and mint green look gorgeous together

What is your colouring? Makes a massive difference.

Something like Essie's Cute as a Button on the nails.

I would go for colours that suit your skin tone and colour of eyes and hair rather than the colour of your clothes.

Personally, being fair (with warm undertones) with blue eyes and medium blond hair, I'd go for browns and neutrals on the eyes (such as MAC Grain on the lid, MAC Charcoal Brown in crease and MAC Mystery as push liner (alternatively brown kohl/liner).
Lipstick could be something in the style of Guerlain Rouge Automatique in the colour Nahema. And blush in the same tone as the lipstick to tie it together.

I would also do browns on eyes or a smokey grey. If you're feeling more adventurous maybe use some metallic green with the browns, blended really well it could look great.

I would do a pearl coloured nail but test it first with your skin tone. My skin is dark and its my trusted fallback but it might not work so well with fair skin.

think milk chocolate mint icecream and channel this with smoky browns and a brownish tinted lipstick. A glowy pale goldenbrown nail colour would be nice I think.
