Which nail polish would you wear with this dress?

Hello,

I'm wearing this dress (pics of dress and fabric attached) to a wedding.

Which nail colour would you wear? I've got a couple of ideas, but intrigued to hear yours. It'll be fingers and toes.

My skin colouring is like Beyonce's (sadly that's where the similarities end) and I'll probably be wearing tan shoes and sparkly bag, of that has any bearing. (Supplementary question: silver jewellery?)

About to commute so will be silent for a bit, but I'll be back!

Thank you Flowers

Nude Smile

Ah - see, hadn't considered nude! Thanks honeylou.

Burgundy red or pale gold.

RJnomore1 · 17/08/2017 07:47

Gold.

DontTellTheBride · 17/08/2017 08:08

That's interesting. Those saying gold, do you mean something sparky like this pic, or something more matte?

Thank you Pink and RJ, by the way.

Nude. Try Essie 'Spin the Bottle'.

RJnomore1 · 17/08/2017 08:14

Well I like a bit of sparkle 😳 But I think the right colour is actually a pale shiny but not glittery gold or a matte gold.

pinkmagic1 · 17/08/2017 08:32

Yes, I agree RJ, pale shiny or matt definitely.

ShadowHarts · 17/08/2017 08:41

The Barry M Molten Metal colours are gorgeous, I just bought a gold that is like painting on liquid gold. I would wear that :)

Sparkletastic · 17/08/2017 08:46

Nude if you prefer subtle or jade green if you want more of a statement. Not convinced on gold nails but yes to gold jewellery although you don't need much with a dress like that.

Love the dress btw.

DontTellTheBride · 17/08/2017 08:47

Great! Thanks all. I've just bought some gold jewellery en route to work so am warning to the theme. I will do a Boots recce on the way home to check out Barry M/the shades of gold you've recommended. Thanks everyone SmileFlowersBike

Thanks Sparkle, I love the dress too. I will look at Jade green on my recce - never worn any kind of green on my nails. I knew I'd get ideas I'd never consider here!

Not sure how the random bike appeared on previous post Blush

A nude/mushroom.

Botanicbaby · 17/08/2017 10:16

I think a matte pale grey would look best and agree with the matte jade /nude suggestions too. But it depends on the shape and length of your nails too.

I don't think I'd like sparkly gold with it perhaps a non-shiny textured metallic.

Or even a similar shade to the background of the dress? Smile

Joanna0685 · 17/08/2017 10:31

You could try looking at 'OPI try it on', you can see how colours look on your nail shape and skin tone.

ApuskiDoo · 17/08/2017 10:38

I'd buck the trend and go navy or blackish.
But I don't like nude.
Just another idea Smile

ApuskiDoo · 17/08/2017 10:39

Gorgeous dress by the way

vasseve1 · 17/08/2017 10:49

I agree nude/grey.

Dina1234 · 17/08/2017 10:51

Something neutral. I had a really nice cocoa colour nail polish a few years ago (grey/purple/brown) that went very nicely with red. Alternatively you could wear whatever 'nude' safe goes best on your hands.

DontTellTheBride · 17/08/2017 23:01

Thank you everyone and sorry I didn't have time to reply earlier today.

My original shortlist was navy blue, a dark berry-ish colour or perhaps one of the shades on the dress. I'm really glad I asked, and got given alternative options.

I didn't make it to Boots after work but will do a proper recce on all your suggestions tomorrow Flowers

Rimmel Red ginger

Queenioqueenio · 17/08/2017 23:21

As you say your skin tone is like Beyoncé - red will look amazing. Or I think a gold would be a good choice.

DontTellTheBride · 18/08/2017 07:22

Morning!

Queenio - I do always love a red!

Burnished - I always wonder about the Rimmel gel polish but have never asked: can you remove it with normal nail polish remover? I guess so....?

Thank you
