Is this nail colour a bit naff?

I asked for a nude colour, was shown this and thought I liked it. But now not sure!

I may have an interview in the next week or so and I'm not sure if this colour is a bit childish/naff. I usually go for a red colour.

What do you think?

Am I right in thinking that it is a taupe/grey? If so, think that should be fine for an interview.

I like it, sort of mushroom or taupe.

ShirleyPhallus · 05/05/2019 08:03

I like it. Nice neat shape of nails too.

The big long talons on S&B are hideous. These are nice.

Evanna13 · 05/05/2019 08:04

Lovely, and I think it looks very professional

Fairylea · 05/05/2019 08:04

It’s not really a pink nude but more of a grey but I think it looks nice.

ElizabethMainwaring · 05/05/2019 08:05

A lovely neutral that will go with anything. Excellent for an interview. Good luck!

It's a great colour, very neutral as others have said. I had similar recently, maybe a touch lighter. My nails are short too which I much prefer.

Fraxion · 05/05/2019 08:19

Good luck with the interview!

bodgersmash · 05/05/2019 08:24

Yes it's a sort of grey/taupe colour. You've all reassured me, thanks!

Your nail shape is lovely. Does it have a name as I only know squared off and oval?

Destinesia · 05/05/2019 08:27

Best of luck with your interview.

Sorry, I really don't like the colour, I find it a bit corpse-like.

ExpletiveDelighted · 05/05/2019 08:27

Yes, good choice and I like the shape too, its how I do mine.

clandestinenetwork · 05/05/2019 08:30

@SunshineCake I believe it's known as 'squoval' Grin

OP your nails look lovely and as per PP, much better than talons.

LynetteScavo · 05/05/2019 08:49

I think it's a great colour, and hues well with navy or black so great for a job interview.

WildFlower2019 · 05/05/2019 08:50

I agree that it's a great colour for an interview x

Summersunshine2 · 05/05/2019 08:52

That look great!

SunshineCake · 05/05/2019 08:58

Thank you @clandestinenetwork.

Probably because you are used to red, it looks so neutral.

It is nice , as everyone said above , professional and subtle .
You might be converted from red in future? Good Luck.
