Right .
I'm off to a wedding next weekend . Have my outfit sorted .
Black and silver dress , silver shoes and accessories etc .

I'm really not a dressy up kinda girl . And for the first time ever , I've booked to get my nails done .
I'm getting gelish .
But what colour do I go for ?
I have short nails , and whatever colour I go for - I'll
have to live with for a couple of weeks after .

Also do I get my toes done too ?
Same colour as fingers ???

Red nails would look nice with black and silver.
And it your toes are gonna be on show then get those done too - the same colour or darker shade.

Go light or else the regrowth will drive you mad. I had a bright pink last time and I could see the gap within a few days. I think that the nude colours look lovely, maybe a little art at the ends.

I don't feel the need for gel nails on my toes as it doesn't need to be so resilient and would only bother if I was wearing open toed shoes. A pedi is always nice though! I like them to match but conversely usually have something either bright red or pink or dark on my toes.

Ok.
Another question .
Does a mini pedi normally include toe nail painting ?

A gelish mani in a nude or pastel colour would look lovely, maybe with some white nail art on the ends or ring fingers.

And yes a mini pedi should include a paint.

Navy blue would be nice

Remember you'll have to go back to get gels soaked off (always puts me off!).

I'd go either with a dark red or a greige-y neutral with that outfit, and thinking about afterwards.

Depends how short they are. Is there enough nail for a French with glitter to match your dress?
