I always go for red on my toes, any other colours I should consider?

I prefer reds & pinks on my toes - though I currently have teal as I wanted something different.

MaMelon · 15/07/2021 18:29

I like bright pink or coral

Zinnia · 15/07/2021 18:31

Can't go far wrong with a coral, though I also like a candy pink or hot red. But I have a warm skin tone, if your colouring is cool then fuchsia would look ace.

Beebumble2 · 15/07/2021 18:41

I like a deep pink/ coral/ reddy orange. But I like to have a sparkle in the colour on my toes and a plain gloss on my fingers.

CupoTeap · 15/07/2021 18:41

Fuchsia might be a good one.

Sparkle, that's a good idea don't normally have that on my toes!

I have dark hair, light tan (normally very pale) and freckles. I normally have french, or a burgundy /plum red. It depends on your skin tone and general colouring though?

I go bolder and brighter on my toes. Lots of mermaid colours, metallics, glitters, holographics, unicorn skins, multichromes...

Pogostemon · 15/07/2021 19:25

Silver is my colour of choice for toes.

I love glitter! They look so lovely in the sun, glittering away and they cheer me up.

Jackgrealishscurtains · 15/07/2021 19:26

Seems to be tippex white amongst the young'uns.

I like purple, teal, turquoise, neon pink, coral etc. I also like to put glitter on the big toe nail as an 'accent'.

Isababybel · 15/07/2021 19:57

I always go for hot pink or pinky coral.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/07/2021 19:59

Mint green glitter

inmyslippers · 15/07/2021 20:02

I like white 🙂

peaceanddove · 15/07/2021 20:10

Always, always a classic strong red.

LimeRedBanana · 15/07/2021 20:13

I think the received wisdom is ‘a nun’s fingers and a whore’s toes’, so low key on finger nails and a bit racier/bolder on the toes. At least in summer, when both are likely to be on display.

I definitely go darker on my fingernails in winter, though.

I like berry and jewel colours on my toes.

WithLoveFromMyselfToYourself · 15/07/2021 20:14

Bright red for me too OP.

I’m corned beef white though, if I have a bit of a tan then paler pinks look okay.
I have particularly mutant trotters though.

sempiternal · 15/07/2021 20:14

Usually fuchsia pink, sometimes purple or turquoise or multicoloured glitter.

LeonoraFlorence · 15/07/2021 20:18

I have white right now. Finger nails are pastels at the request of DDs. They like to take turns to choose my nail colour!

IggyAce · 15/07/2021 20:21

I usually choose this one

Grin I've never hear of this, I love it!

I actually favour it the other way around though. I prefer muted matte colours in beige/pink on toes (I hate and never wear blues or greens on toes) but pretty much anything goes on my fingers. I have different colour pastels on every nail at the moment,

Plump82 · 15/07/2021 20:24

Ive just bought a bright tangerine orange for my toes and it looks fab!
