Hello all

I'm going to treat myself to a shellac mani and pedi for holiday as i can't be arsed faffing with chipped polish everytime i go swimming I am very pasty pale with dark hair and normally wear bright red or dark burgundy, but obviously these are not very summer holiday type colours, so what would people suggest that will not make my nails especially toenails look like they are on a corpse!

Thanks Thanks

are you brave enough to try turquoise? If not I would suggest bright pinK.

hmmm, you see i thought any kind of blue on my nails with my alabaster skin would make me look like a corpse - i always imagine turquoise looking amazing on bronzed skin.

Perhaps coral?

Coral or hot pink Smile

coral / orangey colours look fab with a nice tan. Am I the only one who's gel nails lift when you spend quite a lot of time in water though?

I'm very pale and find neutrals look awful but love mint and turquoise colours, also baby blue looks good :)

Phoebe I'm having baby blue done next Friday. My nail lady has just got it in so I'm excited .
