What colour of nails would look better?

I'm attending a wedding this weekend. My dress is teal with cerise flowers. Sounds awful but it's lovely and looks good on. Shoes are cerise. Should I match my nails to the main colour of the dress or my shoes?

I would go with cerise.

Shitonthebloodything · 04/07/2019 13:55

I'd go pink but not an exact match, go one shade either side of it

ExpletiveDelighted · 04/07/2019 14:02

I'd be tempted to go neutral TBH, teal and cerise are two of my favourite colours but I think nails as well as shoes and dress in such bright colours might be a bit much. Either French or a sheer pale shade.

Eustasiavye · 04/07/2019 16:32

Of go cerise or nude.

Ninkaninus · 04/07/2019 16:34

I’d go with a third colour, otherwise it would look too matchy matchy to me. Is there another colour in the dress?

ScaryBunnyPainting · 04/07/2019 16:37

I’d go nude. Or do you have any hardware on the buckle of your shoes or bag that you can pick out? Maybe silver or gold?

BlueMerchant · 04/07/2019 16:40

I'd go nude also. Or perhaps an antique gold or a grey/silver.
Too matchy can cheapen the look.

Justmuddlingalong · 04/07/2019 16:42

I'll upload a pic in a bit to give everyone a better idea of the colours.

Nude. You run the risk of looking too matchy.

Jaxinthebox · 04/07/2019 17:22

I was at a wedding at the weekend and as I wasnt entirely sure what I was wearing or colour I opted for french - perfect and classy.

Justmuddlingalong · 04/07/2019 19:15

This is the dress. It's got more shape to it with a body inside, honestly.
And the shoes and bag. Please tell me those aren't too matchy as well?

It's a lovely outfit, OP. I'd def choose a shade of pink, perhaps lighter than the cerise, more like the other flowers on the dress- or are they lilac?

missmouse101 · 04/07/2019 19:20

Beautiful dress OP! Yes, I think the palest pink, like the flowers on the dress.

Justmuddlingalong · 04/07/2019 19:22

The flower's are cerise and a lilacy pink. I'm leaning toward a pink french now. 😕

Ooh, those shoes are rather fabulous! Definitely go pale with the nails though.

SinglePringle · 04/07/2019 19:28

Pale pink. You’ll look lovely!

missmouse101 · 04/07/2019 19:28

You will look great! I'm so jealous!

HermioneWeasley · 04/07/2019 19:34

I’d go pale pink, nude or beige nails.

Dress is beautiful

MrsElizabethShelby · 04/07/2019 19:35

Gold nails would look gorgeous with that ensemble!

NatashaAlianovaRomanova · 04/07/2019 19:38

I'd have the paler pink from the flowers in your close up pic

Ninkaninus · 04/07/2019 19:56

Because you’ve got pink shoes and bag I’d go with gold or a nude to match that colour in the close up flower, or a darker beige, rather than the very beautiful pale pink. But again, that’s because I’d want to avoid too much matching. The pale pink would go perfectly well too and would look nice too, if you prefer that.

nicecuppaforme · 04/07/2019 20:08

Pale pink would be nice.

Where did you get the dress op? It's beautiful.

Justmuddlingalong · 04/07/2019 20:18

I got it in the Next clearance earlier in the year.

I'd go for baby pink nails.

ShakeYourTailFeathers · 04/07/2019 20:43
