What colour nails with this dress?

27 replies

IAmALionTamer · 04/02/2019 17:19

I am accompanying my DH to a work event on Friday.
I have bought this dress and am wearing it with black heels which very similar in style to those that the model has on.
My hair will be up and I’ll have dangly diamond and sapphire earrings in.

I’m treating myself to a manicure and pedicure and I’m at a loss as to what colour to go for. I don’t really fancy matching green nails, but will nude look boring? I find green quite a difficult colour to coordinate with.
As someone who wears nail polish about 3 times a year I’m at a loss!

I'd go gold or sparkly black

TruffleShuffles · 04/02/2019 18:41

I’d probably go for a dark red, like rouge noir. I tend to match some sort of red nail varnish with everything though.

misterburns · 04/02/2019 18:52

Nude. It won't look boring. Anything else will be too much.

spugzbunny · 04/02/2019 19:42

I think red will look too Christmassy. I'd go for a nude or black french tip?

Dextrodependant · 04/02/2019 19:46

I would like a rose gold with that dress. A black/black sparkle would do also.

Nude always looks classy and elegant and goes with anything.

MoltonSilver · 04/02/2019 19:48

Dark red

MissTyne · 04/02/2019 19:49

Go for nude

keepingbees · 04/02/2019 19:49

Nude/pale colour, or a very dark almost black red

7Days · 04/02/2019 19:50

A very pale nude gold.

Daw321 · 04/02/2019 19:52

Personally I'd go for black as the detail near the top is black (it looks black to me anyway).

GlowWorm7 · 04/02/2019 20:08

Grey or nude

NashvilleQueen · 04/02/2019 20:12

I think a lot of this depends on your skin tone. I hate nude or gold on my hands because I’m pale and it looks rubbish. On the other hand I love reds, pink, blues, black, white or just bold colours in general. I like the idea of a sparkly black or rouge noir with your dress.

Betty777 · 04/02/2019 21:04

I am a fan of nude - it's very flattering as it elongates your fingers. If not nude then an almost nude shade.

Or pale grey.

Depends on the event/the crowd/your taste and your planned jewellery. I personally think glittery usually looks really cheap

halfwitpicker · 04/02/2019 21:06

You could also go with teal for the nails.

Love the dress BTW

NigellasGuest · 04/02/2019 21:11

Nude

Red nails and red lips for me.

TheBluesAreStillBlue · 04/02/2019 22:48

Nude or mid-pink. Anything else will look too much. Def not red.

Bigonesmallone3 · 04/02/2019 22:53

Nude or gold
If you are going a nail bar maybe an ombré

AdaColeman · 04/02/2019 23:04

Lovely dress.
I'd wear coral nails and lips with that, very glam for a night out.

hatethinkingofusernames · 04/02/2019 23:07

A French manicure would be beaut with this. Amazing dress!

ilovekale · 04/02/2019 23:07

Oo I've got the same dress it's lush! No idea re nails, I'm going for white tip.

DropZoneOne · 04/02/2019 23:14

A really dark red, maybe chrome effect.

pilates · 05/02/2019 07:33

Nude or french. Love the dress 💕
