Summer holiday nail colours, inspire me.

Booked in for gel polish for toes and fingers and really can't decide what I want. Usually for holiday I go for something coral coloured, with darker/brighter on toes and a bit paler on fingers.
Really feel like something different though but don't know what.

Any ideas? Anyone want to share their summer colours of choice?

Last year I had a rouge noir type colour on both fingers and toes which was a nice change, plus you don’t have to worry about sun cream etc doing something funky to your paler nails. Plus it matched the sangria I was drinking 😂 if your salon does gelish, it’s the black cherry berry shade.

That's my usually type of colour I like @CoolcoolcoolcoolcoolNoDoubt. Dark reds, plums, greys and navy blues. I much prefer the autumn/winter shades.
That's why I always go brighter for holiday.

I'm liking the idea of blues/purples. But I've a few outfits in khaki, yellows, and leopard print that I just don't think will go with those colours.
I think it will be some shades of coral again or maybe slightly pinker like @Soola or @Carpetburns.

Those who put pics on, do you have the same colour on your toes?

So far this summer. my best toes were white. I rarely paint fingers.

I’m so glad you posted this as my nail colour preference is exactly the same as you and I’ve no idea what to have. I usually get Shellac Lobster roll but it chipped awfully last time so I’m dithering. My last Shellac was a foul bilious pink - I wanted rose coloured and panicked when faced with an impatient nail technician at a place I’d never been before.

@Doyouthinktheysaurus I thought that was a picture of my nails!

Aquamarines and lilacs. That’s what I’m getting done before holidays next week. Rocking coral right now though.

Very nice @straighttalker33 😎

GirlOnIt · 05/08/2019 21:45

Ooh, white toes do look nice @XingMing. Might be a consideration, I could have pretty much any colour on my nails then.

I've got a pale pink with glitter. Looks good with a tan! Changing it this week though so might get some inspiration from this thread Smile

I think I'm leaning to a bright pinky red on my toes, something like watermelon colour if they have one like that. But don't know about fingers, don't really want to go pale pink.

Like the red on these but not with the green or watermelon design. I'm not a design person although I think they look cool I wouldn't have them.
My beautician has to convince me to add some glitter at Christmas time, although I love it on other people's nails.

Picture didn’t upload. Something like the red red/pink for toes. Trying to think what would go but not too similar on fingers.

Think I’m going nude fingers and coral toes

Sarcelle · 06/08/2019 14:40

Essie do a shade called Watermelon

GirlOnIt · 07/08/2019 21:12

Went for a bright pinky/red like the photo I uploaded on my toes and more of a pinky/peach on my fingers. Can't remember the names now.
Will try upload at photo at some point, I'm just busy packing right now.
