What colour nails with this dress?

Bought this dress today (not going to be wearing mine with clogs and a miserable expression) and I really like it. I was wondering though what colour I could paint my nails to go with it? Any ideas?

I am wearing an orange top today and love the clash with my light purple/lilac nails.

At the moment they are selling clothes in lots of garish colours but strangely no nail varnish to match as I found out after buying the green mules to go with an outfit.

Not a fan of that dress - very shapeless but if that is your bag then I would say white is an option

Hot pink would be nice, or white like a pp said, particularly if you have a nice tan.

I'm fat - shapeless works for me 😁 I think they've styled it as "oversize" as is the trend at the moment but its a bit more fitted on me. Also a bit longer as I'm short, it's a teeny bit above my ankle.

Lilac is a good shout actually, I have a nice lilac!

I'd say fuchsia pink and white x

mnahmnah · 11/06/2023 16:01

Hot pink or canary yellow

luckylavender · 11/06/2023 16:07

Green

Inca22 · 11/06/2023 16:16

Hot pink gets my vote!

Feelingcrazy123 · 11/06/2023 16:20

Love this dress!

white nails would be lovely

Alami · 11/06/2023 16:21

Clash it with a pink!

Endlesssummerof76 · 11/06/2023 16:24

Cinnamon

semideponent · 11/06/2023 16:27

White, beige, deep purple or teal blue

nebulae · 11/06/2023 17:00

I'd go with the opposite side of the colour wheel, so a bright blue. Nails Inc Baker Street or something similar.

notawittyname1954 · 11/06/2023 17:02

@traintraveller thats gorgeous

Prescottdanni123 · 11/06/2023 17:03

White or pale pink

notawittyname1954 · 11/06/2023 17:03

@MyrtleSmurf you do know to go with the miserable expression and clogs you have to balance on a chair

Prescottdanni123 · 11/06/2023 17:04

Or a nice mint green but white nails would really pop

GonnaGetGoingReturns · 11/06/2023 17:05

A bright blue would look nice as a contrast. Mine is currently this colour with an accent pale pink with floral design on fourth finger of each nail.

Mirabai · 11/06/2023 17:21

Gold.

Blossomandbee · 11/06/2023 17:29

I think I would get the same colour orange. Or for a more subtle look beige/nude

Em308 · 11/06/2023 17:46

Orange and purple work very well together

HappyCatty · 11/06/2023 18:12

I'd go with a lovely French manicure. Not sure whether they are in or out and I don't care, but they go with anything and I personally think they always look classy. My nails are rubbish, but I had false nails when I got married with a French polish and couldn't stop looking at them! 😂Plus, the white tips will go nicely with the white in the dress.

Lifeomars · 11/06/2023 18:47

I like that dress, love orange. I never paint my fingernails but always do my toenails and would probably do a hot pink with some open-toed gold sandals. Not those clogs!

Hogsmeadpiglet · 11/06/2023 18:54

Light pink
