Does anyone else hate pale/greige nails on themselves?

[FighterPilotsThumbs]

but like them on other people?

I almost always wear dark nail polish, dark red or dark purple, sometimes green or blue.

I see pastel nails and taupe or greige nails on bloggers or friends, think they look lovely, and spend a small fortune buying them and then hate how they look on me and revert back to my vampy colours.

This is the latest, Tanya Burr Penguin Chick. Looked lovely online. Looks like blah on me.

The only exception to this rule is Zoya Brigitte (a gorgeous dusky mauvey pink) which looks good on me.

Grr.

I love taupe colours like my colleague wears, but they make my pinky-pale hands look weird
i do better with navy or rouge noir copies

I think yours look lovely Fighter!

I had a slightly paler could than that on last week which I thought looked really chic. Then I went to a hospital and realised it was 'ante-natal ward chic' which is another thing entirely.

I dislike them on everyone...

I like that colour on you. It is darker than a greige imo.

I struggle with the pale pinks. I like the barely there pink which looks like a healthy french manicure on other people but it always looks rank on me, no matter how many subtly different dhades of essie varnish I buy.
