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

I bought a new Essie one recently (called Fifth Avenue) and it's now my favourite toe polish (Not sure if the pic has attached?! Google image, not my hand!)

I'm wearing a different one this week for a change and I'm annoyed whenever I look down at my feet Grin back to Fifth Avenue tonight!

I like darker colours in winter, but for summer I like pastels and neons. A bit of glitter too.

I do like white too, but apparently that makes me a young chav.

Blessex · 16/07/2021 07:35

I oscillate between bright summery pink (in summer obvs) and deep red in the winter and bright red every now and then Grin

Blessex · 16/07/2021 07:36

Like that @FreshFaceTime. It’s weird but I never put pastels on my toes. Always something bold.

CeeceeBloomingdale · 16/07/2021 07:38

I like a bright coral or orange in the summer if I have a tan, sometimes I go for a neutral taupe.

cravingthelook · 16/07/2021 07:38

I go for a very sparkly blush pink glitter (its a gel bottle one called babe)
I'm very pale skinned and the sparkle is lovely, but I can get 6+ weeks because the growth is not obvious.

I've got a periwinkle blue on my hands just now, but it's summer so I go bright, I start to get darken colours on in autumn

IBuyPestoAndThatsOK · 16/07/2021 07:40

Currently navy with a mid-blue glitter in - I find glitter polishes last much longer so handy for doing toes and forgetting about them for a while!

Jumpingintosummer · 16/07/2021 07:44

Currently pale pink on both toes and fingers.

BuddhaAtSea · 16/07/2021 07:57

I have orange/coral on now. I tan really easily and I spend a lot of time outdoors, so I’m pretty dark now. I also have the tiniest toe nails you’ll ever see.
White looks really good on me though. My DD suggested it, I was sceptical, but it actually really suits me and I got lots of compliments. I’ve run out 😂

FreshFaceTime · 16/07/2021 08:17

I don't think white would suit me. I'm not super pale but I reckon you need a bit more colour than I have to pull it off. I like the thought of glitter. I can never be arsed putting it on my fingers because it seems to take forever to get it off but I like the thought of it making the toe polish a bit more robust!

Another vote for Essie fifth Avenue. I always have this shade on my toes!

FreshFaceTime · 16/07/2021 08:31

@Snog ooooh yey!

ChardonnaysPetDragon · 16/07/2021 08:48

Beauty Pie Mint.

It's surprisingly flattering.

cardoon · 16/07/2021 08:52

@dottyaboutstripes

I have this pink at the moment - I tend to think the brighter, the better on toes!
You have beautiful feet dotty, what colour is this?
Ragwort · 16/07/2021 08:59

Love that pink Dotty what make is it?

bendmeoverbackwards · 16/07/2021 09:02

Metallic cobalt blue - looks fabulous

LeonoraFlorence · 16/07/2021 09:02

@tintodeverano2
If you’re a ‘chav’ then so am I! DH was laughing when I told him. I think white looks nice with a lovely tan on feet but I guess we are in the minority!

BusterGonad · 16/07/2021 09:10

I have Opi Taupless Beach on at the moment, it looks like a beige in the bottle but it's a lovely taupe mauve when it's on. I'm really pleased with it but I suppose its a bit safe for your toes in Sumner. I too like oranges for the summer. I also have a nice jade colour which is lovely.

Germolenequeen · 16/07/2021 09:18

Bronze or Gold depending on my wardrobe at the time 🙂

Livpool · 16/07/2021 09:33

Mine are currently a bright green but I am thinking a sparkly silver after reading some posts

dottyaboutstripes · 16/07/2021 10:31

Ragwort and cardoon thanks!

It's Gel Bottle Madonna, I treated myself to a pedicure last week. I'm ridiculously pleased with myself Grin

Purplecatshopaholic · 16/07/2021 10:35

Whatever is your fave of the moment! I usually have black sparkly, or Chanel Rouge Noir. Currently red sparkly which is a departure for me. Also love Chanel Peridot which is a greeny colour

EgSk · 16/07/2021 10:41

Any colour in the red/ pink colour scheme look best on the toes ! I’ve done a neon pinky/orange once while on a tropical holiday and that looked great ( but I wouldn’t wear that colour otherwise)!

Shmithecat2 · 16/07/2021 10:46

I love this colour - irl, it's pink and red and coral. Amazing colour, perfect for toes! The Gel Bottle Inc, Bae Watch
