What colours do you have on your nails?

92 replies

namechangedyetagain · 28/03/2019 20:16

Getting my nails painted at the weekend for a treat and don't know which colour to choose. Usually go for a really deep dark red/ black colour but feels a bit wintery.

So what do you all have at the minute? Give me some ideas please!

Grey nails this week, I like them as a slightly more modern 'nude'.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 29/03/2019 20:51

Fingers are a blue-grey - Chanel Washed Denim. My toes are orange-red - Essie Fifth Avenue.

PersonalClown · 29/03/2019 20:52

Does someone want to choose my next colour for me?

I really need to find a better storage solution for them after I redecorate.

Acrylic ombre

Excuse the cuticles!

missesschmisses · 29/03/2019 20:57

Pink and long

ultrababy · 29/03/2019 21:24

Always a French manicure.

Hazeintheclouds · 29/03/2019 21:35

I prefer the natural look. So none.

JaceLancs · 29/03/2019 22:59

Very dark teal with a hint of glitter

chickenalapesh · 29/03/2019 22:59

Ah that's a great help hazel! OP sack your treat off and go with her advise.

FrangipaniBlue · 29/03/2019 23:07

Photo took by the nail tech when she's just finished them

I'm loving this thread! Exxxxxxtra! I love gurl!

TellySavalashairbrush · 29/03/2019 23:17

DND Dark salmon. It’s a dark lavender colour.

LemonRedwood · 29/03/2019 23:29

I love, love, love this green for spring designs. It's How Does Your Zen Garden Grow by Opi. I'm improving at doing the nail art thing on myself.

GreyBird84 · 29/03/2019 23:35

I do my own gel nails. This is a grey / lilac with a slight glitter top coat.

loubieloulou · 30/03/2019 00:02

Gelish very dark sparkly red. I do my own gel nails ( not qualified & never taken a course ) Just bought a lot of nude type colours for the Spring, I love doing my own!

Glower · 30/03/2019 00:05

Do you ever do the white Essie all over your nails PersonalClown? I think it’s a great look but hard to do!

loubieloulou · 30/03/2019 00:28

@GreyBird84 .... is yours Gelish snowflakes & skyscrapers?

P.S I'm loving the pics of them done by ourselves 👍🏻 There is no way I could afford nor have the time to get it all done in a salon as I re do mine every 2 week as I like a change.

I'm addicted to buying new colours, never realised there was so many shades of red which is my fave : )

Zoflorabore · 30/03/2019 00:33

Sort of a rose gold glitter here. Shellac.

whiskeysourpuss · 30/03/2019 05:46

@namechangedyetagain a mismatch can be really nice - DD(19) gets weird & wonderful designs but I go for a relatively muted mismatch on the odd occasion.

RiddleyW · 30/03/2019 06:25

I’m wanting a nice bright yellow - can any one recommend one?

StarlightLady · 30/03/2019 06:57

A traditional deep red wit each ring finger navy blue. Those in the know will know!

GayParee · 30/03/2019 07:05

Please can all of you share your secrets for getting the gel off!? I have lamp and gels and do my own at home fine, but getting it off kills my nails. They are really flaky and thin, however much I file first, however long I leave them to disk, however careful I am pushing the gel off it always takes done if my mail with it :(

Palominoo · 30/03/2019 07:19

RiddleyW - Google Mavala Acid Yellow.

Zoflorabore · 30/03/2019 07:19

I pick my gel off
