Want to paint my nails for an upcoming wedding- Shellac/similar wreck my flimsy nails for a few weeks after it comes off and I don't plump for bright colours usually as I chip to high heaven.
I'm wearing navy so was thinking a pinky neutral? Any recommendations? X

Chanel Ballerina is more grey than pink, just lovely on!

Chardonnay I thought you were recommending a nail varnish shade then. I was wondering who on earth would call a varnish shade arsey!!

I'm considering getting it patented. Grin

I'm cross with you, OP, I've just bought two Mavala polishes due to this thread. Grin

Butter London Yummy Mummy is a gorgeous chic silvered taupe. I love it.

I always find mint green very complimentary with most colours

I like Dior Nail Glow. It doesn't really have a colour but 2 coats and it makes the pink bits pinker and the white bits whiter. It's different from a clear polish though. Plus it's indestructible and lasts ages without chipping.

I don't really have the time or money after having DD to continue with gel polish. Normal nail polish lasts about 2 hours on me before chipping. But this stuff is wonderous. Has to be 2 coats though to enhance your natural nail - one coat does nothing.

Chanel Ballerina is my go-to natural neutral colour. Really pretty. And very hard-wearing too.

OPI Bubble Bath. I use the Nail Envy formulation as it seems to go on a bit better. On me it has that French manicure look and just makes my nails look very, very clean.

If you want a cheapy neutral to go on with, I can recommend George GelPro in Nude Pink.
Yes you read that right. It's Asda. Shock

Twice I've had people compliment me on wearing this!
