.............on your nails and your toes??

I need nail polish inspiration.

In Summer I always end up with a coral or red on my toes and either cherry red or bright pink on my nails. My nails are short-ish and square-ish.

I don't like taupe or anything vaguely subtle Grin. Also not keen on blues and greens or anything glittery - eurgh.

What's your Summer nail polish of choice??

Beige on my toes just about to try a mint green colour on my hands

Wishfulmakeupping · 08/06/2014 19:41

I say beige its more like a dark nude iyswim

TheBookofRuth · 08/06/2014 19:42

Nothing on my nails, I rarely bother as I chip or smudge them instantly. Sort of tangerine-y colour on my toes (very badly applied as I'm 33 weeks pregnant and reaching them is tricky!)

EyelinerQueen · 08/06/2014 19:42

Hmm yeah I'm quite drawn to the mint and pastel green shades. Not sure if you have to be tanned to carry them off. I am not.

Me too Ruth!

33 weeks here too and can just about still reach - want to get them painted nicely before it becomes mission impossible Grin

Bright orange toes.
Nude fingers .

callamia · 08/06/2014 19:47

Oh, and getting a pedicure just before you give birth is a good idea! You spend a surprising amount of birth looking at your feet, and having lovely toes is one thing to appreciate (my red toes also looked GREAT with the DVT stockings I was given afterwards).

Mint green Shellac on fingers....4th nail is sage green. SmileSmile

Dark purple on toes.

rideyourbike · 08/06/2014 19:48

Fingers nothing, as I'm a nurse. Toes a sort of periwinkle blue but usually a pinky purple colour Smile

lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout · 08/06/2014 19:48

Turqoise on my toes. Lilac on my fingers. xxx

YellowStripe · 08/06/2014 19:48

A Maybelline pink on fingernails and Colour Club Revvvolution on toes. I found it last year and wore it almost continuously til recently. It's a holographic slate-grey kind of shade - not particularly summery but I fell in love with it!

EyelinerQueen · 08/06/2014 19:50

So orange is definitely popular this Summer!

I quite like the look of this Rimmel shade - Coralicious. Might give that a whirl.

I am wearing this Rimmel pink right now and it's gorgeous.

Cherry-red sparkly quick-dry L'Oreal polish, with Seche Vite top coat, so they're still really shiny after more than a week Grin

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 08/06/2014 19:51

Toes

EyelinerQueen · 08/06/2014 19:52

I've only recently discovered top coat Witch. I can't believe how much better it makes your manicure look and how much longer it makes it last Shock.

I do love me a cherry red. Goes with bloody everything.

Neon light peach/orange on my toes. Beach bag by models own.
Bold almost a salmon pink on my fingers. Grapefruit by barry m.
Love both of them, they're both in my regular rotation.

Skinheadmermaid · 08/06/2014 19:58

Eyelinerqueen i'm very pale and wear mint and forest greens a lot on my nails and it suits me.

TheBookofRuth · 08/06/2014 20:02

Ooh, I definitely recommend Coralicious, tis lovely.

And I agree that a pre-birth pedi is a must!

OneLittleLady · 08/06/2014 20:08

Rimmel Double Decker red on toes and Rimmel Mashmallow Heaven which is a lavender colour on fingernails

OooOooTheMonkey · 08/06/2014 20:22

Neon pink on toes. It's a maybelline bleached neons one. Quite coral-y but cooler Smile

lifehasafunnywayofhelpinguout · 08/06/2014 20:25

Just repainted my finger nails (Tourqoise) same as my toes. I usually change the colour everyday. xxx

OhTheDrama · 08/06/2014 20:31

Barry M Gelly in Kiwi on fingers, lovely vibrant green.

Models own polish for tans in Shades ( bright neon pink) on toes.

Both shades have just been released for summer, got them on superdrug 3 for 2.
