What nail colour do you have on? What colour is in fashion?

[pinkyponkyplink]

I'm painting them myself but have drinks with some friends on Saturday. I can't decide what colour to paint them. What colour do you have?

Jesus I'm 51 and mine are vertical orange to yellow ombre with silver flames on crazy but I like them. Changing to pink to orange sunset ombre on Monday 😅

@CaveMum I love the gel bottle durability but CANNOT get it off. How does your salon remove it ? It wrecked my nails, the process of me taking it off!

They either soak it off (file the top layers off, put on some cotton wool soaked in acetone and wrap in foil for 10 mins) then gently scrape it away, or use the electric nail buffer.

@justsaythanks you need to file down the surface of your nails really well until they’re no longer smooth (removing the shine completely), then soak with the right kind of remover. You can also buy paint-on removers that melt away the varnish but you need to be careful with them as they’re not good for your skin.

Neon red/orange on toes. A DIY Japan inspired jelly-ish translucent peachy pink on fingers. Coral up next as they're now a suitable length to carry it off. There may or may not be some tiny nail stickers/decals here and there even though I'm far too old at 46

That's what I have on my toes! Russian Roulette, not Russian Red 😂

Have now painted my fingernails, Skylar by Zoya.

Updating because I love my new nails 💅😅

Sort of lilac-y on fingers, hot pink on toes

Some gorgeous nails on here @MiseryWIthAStent they are wonderful!

I get very confused about the different options for nails so tend to just paint my own but it never looks as pro and I would love some fancy nail art one day.

I’m off to get my holiday nails done tomorrow before our flight on Tuesday! I am leaning towards Mimosa or Kingcup.

Mimosa - definitely

Inspired by this thread I did my fingers in the pink (Sweet Retreat) and toes in the orange (Glastonberry). It's Rimmel 60 Seconds Super Shine. I found it quite streaky on layer one and quite tacky and slow drying

Another vote for mimosa!

@CaveMum if their not a bit greener version of neon yellow. Saw someone with this on last week and it looked very cool (early 50’s , loaded).
The orange is well overdone (and tacky because so over done) near me.

I have this blue by essie on my hands and an essie red on my toes. Can't remember the names but they came together with a nude in a summer 3 pack.

@lightisnotwhite there is Peppermint (all 3 are in their Summer collection)

I have Tiffany (the, er, Tiffany blue) from this collection quite often.

See now I’m finding more colours to choose from! I’ll have to see what they’ve actually got in the salon.

@CharlotteSt i am pretty dark skinned so I really like navy!

I now actually have navy fingers - a brand new bottle of Sally Hansen Midnight Drive. I really like these “insta-dri” polishes but find they go gloopy very quickly. Toes are now Essie Fifth Avenue.

I have sparkly pale blue on my toes. Getting my nails done tomorrow so on this thread for inspiration

@CaveMum Ooh they are all lovely. Good link.
The neon green did look fab when I saw in on. Unusual but still on trend. And quite smart.

I am going this afternoon. I normally go navy as my finger nails are very short and it makes them look neat and tidy.

I currently choosing between black glitter or white (or navy) to go with my capsule holiday wardrobe ( black white and orange).Toes could be neon orange as well. It’s so hard to decide.

So in the end I went for Waterlilly as they didn’t have any of the greens/yellows!

Mine are like this currently

(Those aren't my hands in the pic obvs, that was what I took to show the nail man)

@CaveMum looks lovely!
Weirdly I asked my wax lady on Saturday what she was wearing at it was Waterlily. Hers looked a bit more orangey though.

I am super boring and always go for red (darker in winter) or some sort of light pink/nude-ish. I think these colours complement my skin tone and outfits. And it has to be same on finger and toes, unless one of the two is clear nail varnish.
