Nail colour inspiration please!

[Cheesymonster]

I'm getting gel nails for my holiday and for the first time am getting a gel pedicure also. But I have no idea what colour(s) to go for!

Shall I play it safe and have pale pink so the regrowth isn't so obvious (which drives me nuts til I can soak it off)? Or a bright colour as it's for holiday?

Am I supposed to get matching fingers and toes? Or would different colours look ok?

Can you post pics of your nails for inspiration please?

I always go for a coral type of shade.
The regrowth on toes doesn't bother me as much as it did (mainly cos the eyes don't work as well as they did! )
I just find coral a happy colour and since I only use it on holiday - I catch a wee glimpse on my toes and I always smile 😁

Here's mine.... currently on holiday waiting for the mini disco to start!

Gosh!! Didn't realise I had cankles! Must be the heat!

I normally play it safe with coral/brights in the summer, but fancied a change this time so went for a dark purple. Still looks summery, suits my fair skin and goes with everything!

That's a great colour Tiggy!

Also wondering what would suit my v pale skin. I think a lot of brights look better with a tan sometimes.

Love that colour Tiggy
Just remember "Chua Chua wah, Chua Chua wah!
Loved the mini disco songs. (Not really)

Lobster roll is ace by Shellac. I’m very pale too

Alison; we are chi chi wa veterans!

I used to have acrylics but my wonderful nail lady has since helped me grow my own nails instead.
Personally I don't like bright colours and always go for more pastel shades with glitter or foils.

I know that song! But from Germany so only in German! Is it a big holiday song?

Think it's Spanish? Once spent a torentially wet Easter weekend near Cadiz with a couple of hundred seriously pissed off Spaniards - this was the only thing that cheered them up - they all joined in, climbed on chairs etc.

I've found with some pink gels that they change colour to a more coral/ peach tone after a day or two in the sunshine.

Can't beat a bit of chi chi wa!! 😂

Love it 😁

I’ve gone for a pearly pale pink on my fingernails which I’ve been pleased with and haven’t got bored of and a very bright pink on toes for the fun holiday bit!

I'm also wandering the same, I'm Asian but I have tanned so so much already in the London heatwave before I even go on holiday. Wandering what did Laura would look good on very tanned skin?

I only do my toe nails and they are currently very similar to Tiggy's . Look great with a tan!

For the manicure I would recommend:
CND Shellac "Romantique" is such a lovely colour to have on holiday as it's a very very pale pink and regrowth isn't very noticeable :)

Or OPI Gel nail polish is also beautiful in the colour "Bubble Bath".

Then for toes go with something bright

Ah yes I was looking at bubble bath, very nice (pic from Pinterest, not my nails!)

Am leaning towards bright colours and then get them redone in a pale nude when I go back to work.

I like tropix by shellac for toes. It’s a coral/pinky colour. Similar to lobster roll, as above, but a bit more coral and I think it suits my relatively pale skin.

This is what I went for

Oops

That’s lovely!
